The new BMW 7 Series already sets the benchmark in luxury performance motoring – and now BMW is moving up the standard of maximum exclusivity and supremacy in this supreme class to an even higher level, following a completely new definition: The new BMW 760i and the new BMW 760Li are taking over the top position within BMW's model portfolio, representing the highest level of motoring refinement in their segment.
The heart and foundation of this exceptional new standard comes from the twelve-cylinder power unit featured in both top models in the BMW 7 Series. Developed as a completely new engine from the ground up, the V12 is a master¬piece of modern engine technology. Superior power of 400 kW/544 hp comes at an engine speed of 5,000 rpm, with maximum torque of 750 Newton-metres (553 lb-ft) from just 1,500 rpm.
Combined with the likewise brand-new eight-speed automatic transmission, this twelve-cylinder offers not only unparalleled motoring refinement, but also supreme driving dynamics through its ability to convert seemingly unlimited power reserves spontaneously and with precise control at all times into supreme driving dynamics.
Once again, BMW's twelve-cylinder power unit is the epitome of refined performance, grand touring comfort, and stylish exclusivity. The new BMW 760i as well as the new BMW 760Li with its wheelbase extended by 14 centimetres or 5.5" for particular comfort – if not to say, luxury – at the rear, provide the clear answer to the question as to what one may expect of a genuine luxury performance saloon, with fascinating new features underscoring BMW's claim to leadership in the luxury segment.
The drivetrain with all its technical features is a masterpiece of supremacy in every respect. This applies both to the 6.0-litre all-aluminium power unit with TwinPower Turbo Technology, ¬High Precision Injection with fuel injected directly into the combustion chambers, and to BMW's infinite double-VANOS camshaft adjustment as well as the eight-speed automatic transmission featured for the first time in a BMW.
Benefiting from all these technologies, the new BMW 760i and the BMW 760Li offer a new standard of motoring refinement, dynamic performance and all-round efficiency in a vehicle with this kind of power and output. Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 4.6*) seconds, average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is 12.9*) litres/100 kilometres on the new BMW 760i.
In determining the cars' fuel consumption, BMW's engineers have already taken the stricter EU5 emission standard into account, meaning that with the cars' performance improving significantly fuel consumption is down by approximately 4.5 per cent versus the former model.
Saw this in this months issue of car and driver... BMW raised the bar even higher with this beauty
Lol......nice car but what a joke.
Think of what GM would do with a V12 and twin turbos lol..My bet is 1-1.5k daily drivable horsepower easily.
Take a look at the ZR1, 600 daily drivable on a supercharged v8, could do 1,000hp on that turbo easily...
Lols.
Wow Twin turbo and an 8 speed tranny. God damn

You don't buy this BMW for the horsepower...
You buy a car like that to let everyone know you've made it in life...
i dunno the power is decent but youd think a V12 TT would put out more
but, hey, its over 500 hp and 500 ft/lbs, anything more than that is unnecessary
and i love the exhaust in the bumper

Or if your penis is small or you have intense Back-hair, and you need compensation.
I'd drive one, but in black with some nice staggered rims on it.
Lulz at the ZR1 comparison, two different catergories buddy.

because when i see this
it just SCREAMS flashy car that i can show off to the ladies and young ones...
i think not, i really doubt its about compensation with this car.
is it necessary to have such a large engine? probably not, but that pretty cool anyway, and i really like the picture without the block, how cool is that
Meh.
When I saw this design up close, I said it looks 100x lot less ugly then then the previous design. Overall improved.
And I dunno call me old fashioned, screw showing off to the public or some gold digger, I would want something that can give a smile on my face and not satisfy the world. And at the same time I don't have to worry about German engineering.
Instead give me this "4-door Ferrari."
