Oct. 12, 2009 – Irvine, Calif. – Irvine BMW is set to unveil the all-new, first-of-its-kind 5 Series Gran Turismo at its dealership on October 21.
“For the first time, attributes of an elegant sedan, a contemporary Sports Activity Vehicle and a classic Gran Turismo are masterfully melded into a single, harmonious concept,” said Irvine BMW General Sales Manager Steve Rudkin. “The Gran Turismo is the ultimate blend of style, space, luxury and sportiness.”
The traditional European term Gran Turismo (Grand Touring) was first applied by Italian carmakers in the 1950s as they combined performance, handling and style of a 2-seat sport car with luxurious amenities and luggage room for each occupant. The new Gran Turismo furthers this tradition in its own contemporary way while adding the performance and driving pleasure of a BMW.
The Gran Turismo is powered by BMW’s 4.4-liter, 400-hp twin turbocharged V-8 engine and a new 8-speed automatic transmission that contributes to greater performance and fuel efficiency. Typical BMW proportions, four doors with frameless windows, and a coupe-like roofline combine into a distinctive and dynamic silhouette.
Inside, the Gran Turismo combines space, luxury and stylish materials to create a premium ambiance. Additionally, to achieve maximum convenience and versatility of loading various cargo items, BMW developed a two-piece bi-model trunk with full, independent functionality.
