With the Gran Lusso Coupe, the two manufacturers have shown how a luxury coupe of the future might look like without that is lost in the DNA of BMW design. The BMW kidney leans in the direction of the Gran Lusso Coupe and quoted as the typical BMW "shark nose" even more, giving more momentum to the vehicle from the side.
The elegant lines of the big coupé makes the car both petite, also act as a very brawny, depending on which perspective you look at it. The game of flowing lines and striking beads, the designers particularly well done.
Thus, the elongated side game then ends in a slender tail that both the typical BMW L-shape shows with very narrow LED lights, but also the typical Pininfarina design includes.
