The BMW Gran Lusso Coupé designed by Pininfarina

Vehicle Overview

The BMW Gran Lusso Coupé Pininfarina is a one-off and represents the exclusive interpretation of a luxurious BMW Coupé as seen through the eyes of Pininfarina. Working in close consultation, the two design teams have created a new automotive persona brimming with character and ready to join the high-end luxury class – typically BMW while sporting the distinctive signature of Pininfarina. Aesthetically, the car features the typical styling cues of the German brand, such as the classic double-kidney grille found on all production BMWs and the iconic Hofmeister elbow, but it is completely distorted and reworked in the style of the Turin coachbuilder. The front end features subtle LED headlights that make up along with the double kidney, which appears slightly angled forward “shark nose,” as on most of the propeller company’s cars of the 1970s and 1980s the grille. 21-inch wheels are present. The interior accommodates four seats and makes extensive use of leather and kauri wood from New Zealand. The side line shows the classic grand touring setup, with a long engine hood and a very set-back cabin. At the rear of the BMW Gran Lusso Coupé is a four tailpipe system, and headlamps built from LED headlamps that connect to create a whole. For its styling and line, it won the 2013 Good Design Award. The BMW Gran Lusso Coupé was unveiled at the 2013 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza and was designed by Pininfarina chef designer Felix Kilbertus.
