BMW Gran Turismo “Shooting Brake” Concept
Back in April when BMW premiered the Gran Coupe concept, Scott26 mentioned something about a "Shooting Brake model" being built for market evaluation.
Quote:
So I created a speculative rendering of how it may look like. For reference, here are couple of press pics of the Gran Coupe. And here are the renderings of the BMW Design Concept GRAN TURISMO "Shooting Brake" as posted in LLN. Front Quarter shot I turned on the front signal lights to show them off as you can barely see it being positioned underneath the headlights. Rear quarter shots showing more features of the Shooting Brake Concept. The hofmeister kink is a lot more angular and sharp as opposed to the rounded kink as seen in the 5er touring. The car is said to received a full panoramic glass roof, wide stance with large wheels and a split hatch. The hatch opens up similar to the X5 where the top half opens up for quick access to the cargo etc. And the bottom hatch folds down making it convenient during picnics etc. And here's what scott27 had posted about it over at GCF.

I hope they don't wreck it with that ridiculous flop down tail gate. It makes it impossible to load anything! A dual function tailgate with flip up window/flip up whole gate is MUCH MORE FUNCTIONAL!

That looks fantastic...id rock it. But isn't a shooting brake a 3 door?
Had one of these on my old Ford station wagon...it was the best. Last edited by BrokenVert; 05-27-2010 at 01:30 PM.. |

The 5 GT isnt a station wagon. And why do you hate em? Station Wagons are awesome.
