The 2013 M6 coupe and convertible were revealed this past weekend and we now preview the production M6 Gran Coupe for you, by way of these renders which digitally remove the prototype's camouflage. The car will wear the same front and rear end design as the M6 Coupe, but obviously with 2-extra doors and a longer body. We've also included the sporty carbon fiber roof from the M6 coupe.

The M6 Gran Coupe will directly challenge the 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG. What will the M6 GC bring to the shootout? Expect it to utilize the best BMW has to offer in terms of quality of materials and the best powertrain BMW is capable of developing currently. The M6 coupe and cabrio are powered by the M5's S63Tu engine, a twin-turbo 4.4L V8 which produces 560HP. However, for the M6 Gran Coupe, rumors have pointed to a potential power bump of 20HP to 580HP. If true, this would be a fitting leading power figure for a flagship M car. Power will be delivered via a standard 7-Speed DCT transmission.

The M6 Gran Coupe's premiere should come in the second half of this year (in the Fall) we believe.
