BMW Announces New Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo

BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo

It looks like BMW is out to set a new mark in the automotive industry with its new BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo. BMW is creating a new category with the Gran Turismo. The company classifies it as a PAS or Progressive Activity Sedan. This new 4-door BMW is really a new category – it’s an executive car that sports a 5-series body and provides space just like in a 7-series. Confusing? BMW product and technology communications manager Tom Plucinsky clears things up, “This car is designed less for a specific market, but more for a customer who needs all the utility of an SUV, minivan or wagon, but would not want the association with those types of vehicles.”

The BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo will debut next month at the Geneva Auto Show. Though it is tagged as a concept car, BMW says it is going to go into production, but there’s still no word as to when that will be.

Some of the great features of this new BMW Gran Turismo are the first-class seats, innovative two-way trunk opening, grille apart, and the dual round headlights with LED corona rings.
