The contemporary interpretation of the classic gran turismo: the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo combines the stylish elegance of a luxury limousine with the flexibility of a station wagon and the versatility of an SAV. With its generous spaciousness, its luxurious ambiance and its efficient engines: It is the first of its kind. Following on the heels of the X6, which got a lukewarm reception, the 5 Series Gran Turismo promises a lot of power and a unique cargo area. Like the X6, the Gran Turismo comes with a twin-turbo V-8 engine good for 400 hp. Also unlike the X6, this is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, which means the 550i Gran Turismo will be more of a performance machine. BMW expects it to start at about $55,000.
