The upcoming flagship M car - the M6 Gran Coupe, has now begun cold weather testing in Sweden.

It will directly challenge the 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG by utilizing the best BMW has to offer in terms of quality of materials and powertrain. The M6 Gran Coupe will be powered by the 4.4L twin turbo V8 S63Tu engine, but may very well feature a power bump from the standard M6 coupe and cabrio's 560hp (maybe in the range of +20hp or so) in order to give it the leading power figure among all M models. 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.

As for styling, since the 2013 M6 coupe and convertible were revealed recently, not much remains to the imagination. We repost below our renders of the M6 Gran Coupe which wears the same front and rear end design as the M6 Coupe, as well as the sporty carbon fiber roof from the M6 coupe.

It's good to see the double-hump roof from the M6 make its way to the Gran Coupe.

this thing is going to be amazing. I like the lines way better than the CLS

Have no fear, the purchase price will be dwarfed by the maintenance once the warranty runs out.
