M760Li? Why not just M7?

 

[kikie]

Audi A8 without a doubt.

M760Li? Why not just M7?

Because the car isn't from the M division.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Because the car isn't from the M division.

It's technically from their M Performance sub-division as it's not a full-fat M model like the M550d and M135i.

Still it isn't a fully fledged M car, so that is why it doesn't have a single digit after the letter.

Edit: Autobahn Package review.

mmmm....so handsome

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Saw one a few days ago on a roundabout. Looked quite good with the new lights. Prefer BMWs as feel least car sick in them.

Disappointed that gesture technology didn't come to other series yet but at least they updated navigation unit in '2016' M3/M4 which appears like it is running at 60FPS which stood out to me.

///M760Li xDrive
6.6L twin-turbocharged V12 with 592hp at 5,500rpm and peak torque of 590 lb-ft at 1,500rpm

When are BMW going to make a Full M 7 series.

 

[Swagger897]

Is the V12 really necessary?

 

[Omnis]

Is the V12 really necessary?

Yes. It should be smooth like buttah.

 

[Legro]

I was wondering when the M-badges will reach the 7-Series with the AMG S-Classes, I guess now is the correct answer.
It doesn't look too overdone like the AMGs can sometimes look, which I personally think is the better way of doing it.

 

[VXR]

How comically cheap have they made the M-Performance logo on the engine cover?!

It looks like the sort of rubbish font used on a dealer special edition of a cheap and nasty car. Terrible.

 

[Omnis]

Yeah, the M in Performance doesn't even match. Is this car for the India market?

 

[TheCracker]

How comically cheap have they made the M-Performance logo on the engine cover?!

That was my first thought too. In fact. I've seen that somewhere before.....

 

[Dennisch]

Just look at that sculpted piece of art. Plastic piece of crap.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I like how it's got a tweaked version of the Ghost engine, but that M Performance logo on the cover looks really cheaply done.

Looking forward to see how it compares to an S8 Plus.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Yeah, is there anybody out there that really lusts after these beauty shots of a plastic engine cover? This one especially looks like the underhood equivalent of this:

It's the only time a prospective owner will ever actually see the engine, so I suppose there's some merit in it.

Can't argue with the V12 though. To this day, the only V12 I've driven was in the Wraith, and it's an absolutely magnificent engine. For a proper, proper luxury car, you just can't beat twelve cylinders.

I miss when plastic engine covers had humongous fake intake runners.

"Man, imagine how much not!air that not!intake pulls in. The Oldsmobile is gonna fly!"

 

[05XR8]

Reminds me of a 1series front and 4series rear. A Tesla has a bit more character than this 7. But, I guess it's not about aesthetics for this series of BMs, MBs and Audi luxoboats.

Looks a lot like the Northstar V8...

And under further inspection, looks exactly like a DeVille...

 

[Moglet]

I like the fact it's got a big V12 badge below the iDrive controller. Come on BMW, you go to all of that effort to make the interior look fantastic then you put a sodding big badge in the center console? What's going on?

Can`t agree with you on this one. Still prefer the A8 though

 

[05XR8]

I thought you were showing me a pic of a Pontiac Grand Prix.

Anyway, to each, his own.

 

[Swagger897]

Wheels on that Merc look horrendous..

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Wheels on that Merc look horrendous..

Well that's a Maybach and that's sort of their thing.

 

[Swagger897]

I mean c'mon... it's not 1995 anymore..

 

[Robin]

Wheels on that Merc look horrendous..

Because it's a Maybach it does kinda make sense. It meant to be similar in style to the ones you see on Rolls Royce's.
