BMW spokesperson Michaela Müller told German newspaper Bild that with this E65 7er prototype BMW were just testing new camo techniques with much better hiding / decieving abilities.

Se, we may see more of such BMW camo in the future ...


So, this prototype is not hiding 8er, or baby RR beneath. It's literally just a camouflage prototype.

Hope it's not a repost.

The trunk opening is quite similar to what's find on the current car...
Is it the LWB version?

The back looks only like that because of the camo. But even with the camo, I think it looks better than the now almost brick-like E65.
I don't think it's the LWB btw

Check out the description of the turbo V-8 they are using in the new X6. Do you guys think the same V-8 will be in the F01?

"A class of its own: The new eight-cylinder with Twin Turbo Technology.
With Ultimate Driving Performance as the most important feature-this applies to BMW’s X Models and to BMW’s eight-cylinder engines-the BMW X6 is adding an incomparably dynamic variant to the line-up of BMW X Models, with the world’s first Sports Activity Coupe boasting a particularly sporting and dynamic eight-cylinder.
Displacing 4.4 liters, the new V8 engine with Twin Turbo technology and direct gasoline injection (High Precision Injection) develops maximum output of 400 hp throughout a broad range of engine speed from 5,500-6,400 rpm. Engine torque reaches its peak of 450 lb-ft throughout an unusually large speed range from 1,800-4,500 rpm. The spontaneous, intense and long-lasting thrust generated in this way is the result of Twin Turbo technology already featured on BMW’s most powerful straight-six combined with High Precision Injection. The cooling effect of direct fuel injection also ensures a compression ratio quite unusual on a turbocharged engine, helping to give the engine an even higher level of all-round efficiency.
The position of the turbochargers and catalytic converters in the V-section between the two rows of cylinders is likewise an innovation in technology allowing particularly compact engine dimensions and at the same time requiring new configuration of the intake and exhaust ducts. This means shorter intake and exhaust manifolds and larger cross-sections significantly reducing pressure losses on both the intake and exhaust side.
The all-aluminum V8 engine developed for the BMW X6 offers all the qualities typical of an eight-cylinder in incomparably sporting style. In practice, this means a combination of superior torque at low engine speeds with an ongoing surge of power and performance up to the higher speed range.
The BMW X6 xDrive50i accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds and boasts ample power reserves for exceptional acceleration also at higher speeds. When equipped with the optional 20 inch wheels with performance tires, the top speed is a truly impressive 155 mph limited electronically by the engine control unit.
Twin Turbo technology featured for the first time on an eight-cylinder gasoline engine.
The power and performance characteristics of the new V8 result to a large extent from Twin Turbo technology, the use of two turbochargers for the first time on an eight-cylinder engine serving to boost both engine output and torque with maximum efficiency. Each of the two turbochargers supplies compressed air to four cylinders at a time, ensuring particular spontaneity and a direct reaction to the gas pedal. "

Yes, absolutely

Like picsoubmw already said it will definitely have the same engine.
