Come on, admit it, you wanted to see what it was like with four doors, we won’t tell anyone you’re into that
BMW has just revealed the 8-Series close-to-production concept, a two-door luxo coupe setting its sights on the Mercedes S-Class two-door. However, looking at the car (which to my eyes borrows a lot from Aston Martin) I started to wonder what a Rapide version of the concept would look like.
And without further ado, here it is: stretched, with two extra doors and a new roofline which I most certainly didn’t cut and borrow from a 4-Series Gran Coupe side profile shot…
To my eye it could totally pull the whole four-door coupe trick with ease, even if this rendering doesn’t really do a model like that justice. And BMW being BMW I’m pretty sure is probably right now thinking whether or not a four-door 8-Series would be worth the extra development cost – or not and this would then have been a totally pointless exercise and photo shop job.
