(from BMW Press
Release) The new BMW 760i. The new BMW 760Li.
The new BMW 7 Series
already sets the benchmark in luxury performance motoring – and now
BMW is moving up the standard of maximum exclusivity and supremacy
in this supreme class to an even higher level, following a
completely new definition: The new BMW 760i and the new BMW 760Li
are taking over the top position within BMW’s model portfolio,
representing the highest level of motoring refinement in their
segment.
The heart and foundation
of this exceptional new standard comes from the twelve-cylinder
power unit featured in both top models in the BMW 7 Series.
Developed as a completely new engine from the ground up, the V12 is
a masterpiece of modern engine technology. Superior power of 400
kW/544 hp comes at an engine speed of 5,000 rpm, with maximum torque
of 750 Newton-metres (553 lb-ft) from just 1,500 rpm.
Combined with the
likewise brand-new eight-speed automatic transmission, this
twelve-cylinder offers not only unparalleled motoring refinement,
but also supreme driving dynamics through its ability to convert
seemingly unlimited power reserves spontaneously and with precise
control at all times into supreme driving dynamics.
Once again, BMW’s
twelve-cylinder power unit is the epitome of refined performance,
grand touring comfort, and stylish exclusivity. The new BMW 760i as
well as the new BMW 760Li with its wheelbase extended by 14
centimetres or 5.5" for particular comfort – if not to say, luxury –
at the rear, provide the clear answer to the question as to what one
may expect of a genuine luxury performance saloon, with fascinating
new features underscoring BMW’s claim to leadership in the luxury
segment.
The drivetrain with all
its technical features is a masterpiece of supremacy in every
respect. This applies both to the 6.0-litre all-aluminium power unit
with TwinPower Turbo Technology, ¬High Precision Injection with fuel
injected directly into the combustion chambers, and to BMW’s
infinite double-VANOS camshaft adjustment as well as the eight-speed
automatic transmission featured for the first time in a BMW.
Benefiting from all
these technologies, the new BMW 760i and the BMW 760Li offer a new
standard of motoring refinement, dynamic performance and all-round
efficiency in a vehicle with this kind of power and output.
Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 4.6*) seconds, average fuel
consumption in the EU test cycle is 12.9*) litres/100 kilometres on
the new BMW 760i.
In determining the cars’
fuel consumption, BMW’s engineers have already taken the stricter
EU5 emission standard into account, meaning that with the cars’
performance improving significantly fuel consumption is down by
approximately 4.5 per cent versus the former model.
