Limited Edition BMW Gran Turismo launched at Auto Expo
At Auto Expo 2010, BMW India launched the limited edition of the new BMW Gran Turismo in India.
Priced at Rs. 63,00,000 ex-showroom Delhi, only the elite few in India will have the opportunity to own one of the 100 exclusive limited edition BMW Gran Turismo.
BMW Gran Turismo is a completely new vehicle concept, adding a unique and distinctive model variant to BMW’s product line-up. The BMW Gran Turismo combines the benefits of a prestige sedan, a modern Sports Activity Vehicle, and a classic Gran Turismo (Grand Touring). A coupe-like, stretched and sleek roofline, proportions typical of BMW, four doors with frameless windows and a two-piece tailgate determine the stylish and elegant body design of the BMW Gran Turismo.
The generous interior offers luxurious comfort, a slightly elevated seating position for comfortable access to the vehicle, clear and superior all-round visibility of road conditions, and truly impressive variability. Powerful and efficient engines, as well as the eight-speed automatic transmission featured as standard, guarantee a supreme driving experience both dynamic and comfortable all in one.
The BMW Gran Turismo 3.0l D engine offers particular highlights in terms of all-round economy. Its latest-generation 3.0-litre straight-six diesel comes with an all-aluminium crankcase as well as common-rail direct fuel injection with piezo-injectors, delivers 180 kW/245 hp at 4,000 rpm, and gives the car average fuel consumption in the combined EU cycle of just 6.5 litres/100 kilometres, as well as a CO2 emission rating of just 173 grams per kilometre, both figures absolutely unique for a vehicle of this size and calibre.
The engine naturally fulfills the EU5 emission standard. In addition, the BMW Gran Turismo comes with an innovative eight-speed automatic transmission combining an extremely quick gearshift with maximum efficiency.
