bmw concept 5 series gran turismo

 The byproduct of BMW's Progressive Activity Sedan development idea, the Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo attempts to morph the sedan, sport utility vehicle, and grand touring coupe into a single vehicle. As such, BMW's Germanic perspective on style, comfort, convenience, and luxury can all be found in the Concept 5 Series GT -- a vehicle the automaker claims is equally suitable for long journeys as it is commuter traffic or short trips to the grocery store.
So what is the Concept 5 Series GT, exactly? A PAS, perhaps? Let's start with some dimensions. From the BMW perspective, it fits somewhere between the midsize 5 Series sedan and its X-model SU...sorry, SAVS. Essentially, at 196.8-in. long, 61.2-in. tall, and 74.8-in. wide, the concept slots in just under the 7 Series (199.8 in. for the 750i) in overall length and just under BMW's X models (66.5 in for the X6) in height. Make no mistake -- this is a relatively large vehicle. With an arching rear roofline blending into a turned-up spoiler at the rear, first impressions are of a vehicle in the four-door coupe vein, but with a rear hatch along the lines of the Panamera. Frameless doors -- long a sports car staple -- are also used for the first time in four-door BMW in an effort to lend it a sportier appearance. In fact, like the X6 the Concept 5 Series GT only seats four people, but this concept is considerably taller than, say, the Mercedes-Benz CLS. A gaping version of the famous BMW "kidney grille" is found up front, slanted forward slightly and quite bold in appearance, flanked by swept-back, traditional dual-round headlights with LED corona rings.
