M6 Gran Coupe facelift render

Paul-Bracq-BMW · 03-21-2016, 07:59 AM

I've always found the M6 Gran Coupe a beautiful car (the 4 door body makes it better proportioned than the coupe version), except that the nose in my opinion looks too feminine and not aggressive enough.

So I decided to do a virtual facelift with Photoshop... Hope you'll enjoy the result...

Modifications are:
- Smaller and thinner headlights positioned lower
- Bigger kidney grills
- Larger air intakes

I think the new design makes the front of the car much more aggressive and reflect the power of the car...

I intend to lower the body and work on the rear as well so suggestions and comments are welcome

interesting, can you try without the bigger kidney grills? too big looks like the nostrils are wide open

Also it is worth pointing out that the headlights have been changed now, still the exact same size, but a slightly sleeker design.

Try making headlights a little more like the ones on m2 and closing the bumper space between air scoops and headlights, maybe sharper edge on hood similar to m5

Second version with new headlights and smaller kidneys compared to the 1st version, also lowered...

I do like that very much, without the comparison it is hard to tell if it is modded at all!

Do you take requests?

Thanks! I wanted to do something subtle that would bring out the agressiveness of the M6, which is IMO not present in the current model...

What kind of request do you want?

More dramatic change this time with BMW's latest design language with wider kidneys, elongated headlights extending to the kidneys (from the 7 series).
