BMW’s stuck an M badge on its 7-Series, gifting the luxury flagship sedan immense straight-line performance.
The M760Li xDrive, as it will be known, now gives BMW a weapon to fight Audi’s S8 and Mercedes-AMG S63, while also injecting a V12 variant into the new 7 Series range.
BMW’s lowered a 6.6-litre V12 into the long wheelbase sedan. Relying on two turbochargers it musters 441kW at 5500rpm and a huge 800Nm at 1500rpm.
More firepower costs the M760Li at the weighbridge, as the heavier V12 means it tips in at almost 2.2-tonne. So to keep its mass in check, BMW’s teamed its air suspension with active roll technology, a more direct steering ratio, stickier tyres, and dinner plate sized brakes.
Expected for sale in 2017, we’ll see the both the BMW M760Li xDrive and its ‘Excellence’ variant debut at the Geneva Motor Show this March.
