Rob Good: This vehicle is said to be based on the next generation 7 series, so you can imagine how long it will be. It is also very wide at over 79 inches, but not very tall a-la Benz CLS. The new 7 is expected to have up to 700 HP in top performance trim and the CS concept is expected to have as much as 600 rubber melting hp to propel the vehicle from 0-60 in the 4 second range. Rumor is that it will be powered by a V12, although I am sure we will maybe see a diesel and or even hydrogen version of this exotic looking new concept.
I think the CS looks a little like the aggressive Dodge Charger with some BMW Z8 thrown in at the front of the vehicle. I am not to keen on the extra large holes in the rear bumper for the exhaust outlets though, they need to make them smaller so it doesn't look like a hopped up CRX. Good to see BMW coming up with exciting new vehicles.... Roll em out.
What do you think?

I've seen photos of this in another website, and from ALL angles, I absolutely approve. Not ever being a Bangle fan, this one is far, far more coherent than any of their recent cars. This car does not polarise, it looks very proportional, and has that sporty, aggressive look I expect from a BMW. Stunning. Can't wait for them to apply the same principles to their current crop of cars.
Only thing, on the practical side, and this includes Audi too -- I'd hate to come back to the car every so often in a parallel parking situation and find someone ramming their towbar into the grille! I hope they make grills cheap enough to replace, because tell you what, in NZ, you'll find a lot of cars with dented front license plates.
You always have to be careful where you park.... Most drivers are respectful but good point Tony.
Absoltuely awesome.
