When it comes to the Mercedes-BMW-Audi rivalry, they don’t always match each other segment by segment. For example, BMW has no answer for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.
Well, here’s where this rendering comes in. You’re looking at the all-new 7 Series but with two fewer doors, a flatter roof and slightly redesigned headlights. It also sits a bit closer to the road, giving it more of a Coupe stance.
So what do you guys think? Would a 7 Series Coupe make sense? Even though this rendering is called the “8 Series Coupe”, there’s no reason to believe that BMW would use this moniker if they ever decided to remove the back doors from their flagship model.
But since Mercedes already has the S-Class Coupe, and the Audi Prologue Coupe concept could throw its name in the hat in the near future – where does that leave BMW?
As of right now, it would leave them on the outside looking in, and that’s not a great position to be in when it comes to these types of rivalries.
Could BMW have success with this type of car, a big coupe called the 7 Series Coupe/8 Series Coupe?
You know what? They probably could turn this car into a hit. They would probably find a way to make it look ultra-elegant and sporty and it would, of course, drive like a charm – for its size, that is…
