Large BMW Coupe Caught Testing at the Nurburgring
Our spy photographers have caught a large BMW coupe that may be the upcoming 8 Series undergoing testing at the Nürburgring race track. Looking to challenge other big luxury coupes like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and the new Lexus LC 500, the BMW 8 Series will be as a grand tourer slotting above the 6 Series coupe and convertible.
Though its impossible to tell the exact size of the car without a frame of reference and thus determine if its the upcoming 8 or just a variant of the 6, this coupe is low-slung and features a dramatically sloping roofline that exaggerates the car’s overall length. The side windows appear to be a bit narrow as well, which visually lowers the car. Despite the swirly camouflage, you’ll find BMW’s trademark dual kidney grille up front with wider openings. Out back, the classic coupe proportions continue with a short rear deck that almost makes the car look like a fastback.
While this particular prototype features dual exhaust tips instead of the quad ones found on recent M cars, the black side mirrors indicate that it may be an M Sport variant or an M Performance model like the recently released M760i xDrive. It’s not yet known what will power the 8 Series, but if it’s based on the G11 7 Series, it’ll ride on BMW’s scalable CLAR platform and most likely share powertrain choices with the flagship sedan, which include a 3.0-liter turbo-six, a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8, and a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12.

Jeep Quicksand and Switchback Concepts to Debut at 2017 Easter Jeep Safari
The annual Easter Jeep Safari sends thousands of off-road aficionados flocking to Moab, Utah. Ahead of the 2017 edition of the big event, Jeep released teasers for two of the new concepts that will be making an appearance.
The first is the Jeep Switchback, which is shown sitting on the edge of a cliff in the above teaser. A bare-bones Jeep Quicksand appears in the second teaser, complete with a roll cage, metallic accents, and a uniquely distressed look. Apart from both of these being Wrangler concepts, that’s all we know right now, but Jeep says it will release more information and images on these vehicles later this week, so stay tuned.
Last year marked 50 years of the Easter Jeep Safari, and seven innovative concept vehicles made their debuts. Five were based off the Wrangler, and two were specially equipped Renegades, so we can expect a host of different Jeep vehicles to debut this time around. Although this year won’t be such a milestone event, we know we’ll once again see plenty of unique Mopar bits.
The 2017 Easter Jeep Safari takes place between April 8 and April 16. In the meantime, check out all of last year’s Easter Jeep Safari vehicles.
