The all-new BMW 7-Series may feature carbon fiber in its construction, yet its tires seem just as strained when cornering as those of any other similarly-sized barge, if you scroll down and play the video posted below.

The fully camouflaged prototype was spotted by Touriclips and it’s the first time we’ve had the chance to see the new big Bimmer stretching its legs.

It looks planted through the Nürburgring corners, which it takes with unnoticeable roll, yet it’s by no means an agile sports car that just happens to be a big limousine (think Maserati Quattroporte); it’s either down to the driver who doesn’t properly judge the corners, but the line he takes seems to drag the car a bit wide out of every corner…

The 7-Series was never a driver’s BMW, and despite the innovations it will bring, this one might not be as poised as you’d expect it to be…
