We have a bit of a wait, but the twaalfpitter is back in the BMW 7-Series.
With the introduction of the current generation BMW 7 Series left BMW even in the dark or a V12 would come. Now the Bavarian their viewer to focus increasingly on environmentally friendly i-models, would the deletion of a V12 is not even a very crazy decision. A pity, so we can sigh of breathing now appears that they simply turn a twaalfpitter in the Siebener (driving test) have spooned.
A twaalfpitter so, but where are we talking about exactly? A –as predicted– up to 6.6 liter opgeboorde V12 which, helped by two turbos to 600 hp and 800 Nm of torque. Jep, exactly the same number as the also this week presented Alpina B7 xDrive. All the violence is through an eight speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels all four wheels led. The 760Li comes solely with xDrive.
V12 Excellence
New is the M-tje for the 760, the V12 is by default in a sporty tailor-made suit is lifted. An M Aerodynamics package and 20-inch M wheels in matt-grey, you need to tick on the options list. Is that you all have something too flashy? No problem, BMW provides at no additional cost to you 7-series, V12 Excellence. In that case your limousine a more discrete appearance without sporty bumpers and more modest 20-inch Individual wheels.
Discrete matter, we can between parentheses, BMW is going to be a good Stuttgarts use V12-logootjes paste. Just as the first S-Class with V12, the unsurpassed W140 S600, they sit on the C-style pasted. They would actually not need, thanks to a M-sports exhaust, it promises a BMW with a rich V12 sound. Or this the interior through the speakers, reaches, mentions the press release.
Performance
We have already briefly about the muscles of the V12, we show also the performance look under the microscope. According to BMW, launches the twaalfcilinder the heavy 7 Series in 3.9 seconds to hundred. By default, the fun on to a limited 250 km per hour, but who the M Driver’s Package option, may BMW up to 305 kilometers per hour. That is also, incidentally, a speed limit, which immediately poses the question of how fast an unlimited M760Li or not. All twelve nuts delights, moreover, the necessary gas, with a specified fuel consumption of 12.6 l/100 km is the M760Li anything but economical. And that’s but the specifications of the manufacturer…
Prices are not yet known, but you can count on a very spacious two ton, two and a half. Mercedes S 600 Long (driving test) must participate for a minimum of 228.300 euro, but that is a little less thirsty and will get less CO2 penalty of our Hague friends.
