Gerhard Richter, a member of the management team of the BMW Motorsport, will be assigned project leader on the upcoming Gran Turismo, which means that this is going to be a fast beast.
Various reports say that engine choices will range from a V8 all the way up to a V12. A new report from a German magazine says that the BMW Gran Turismo will get a new V10 twin-turbo charged, direct fuel injection engine that is capable of producing up to 625-hp, which is just a little more than the Mercedes Benz S65 AMG. The report also says an entry level V8 twin-turbo will also be offered producing 450-hp.
What will BMW come up with next?

Beautiful. If this is the gene pool that the next 3-, 5-, and 7-series cars will take from, then all I can say is I'm relieved BMW has rediscovered that sharp, aggressive beauty that I've loved since the '70s. Never ever became a Bangle fan. Glad this one hasn't got any Dame Edna headlamp variation.
It is indeed a beautiful car Tony
Stick a fork in it. The New Stratos is done. Reports kicking around the web have confirmed Ferrari has put the nix on any hopes of a production run.
