2010 BMW 760i and 760iL revealed in Europe

The new 2010 BMW 760i and 760iL models were recently revealed in Europe. They will be fitted with a 6.0L V12 engine with twin turbochargers. It will be released later on in the US market.

Developed as a completely new engine from the ground up, the V12 engine develops power of 544 hp at an engine speed of 5,000 rpm, with maximum torque of 553 lb-ft from just 1,500 rpm.

It has a 6.0-litre all-aluminium power unit with TwinPower Turbo Technology, High Precision Injection with fuel injected directly into the combustion chambers, infinite double-VANOS camshaft adjustment as well as the eight-speed automatic transmission featured for the first time in a BMW.

Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 4.6 seconds; average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is 12.9 liters/100 kilometres on the new BMW 760i.

The new BMW 760i as well as the new BMW 760Li has its wheelbase extended by 5.5″ for particular comfort at the rear.

In determining the cars’ fuel consumption, BMW’s engineers have already taken the stricter EU5 emission standard into account, meaning that with the cars’ performance improving significantly fuel consumption is down by approximately 4.5 per cent versus the former model.
