Following a teaser for an all-new large BMW coupe designed by renowned Italian design firm Pininfarina, the two outlets unveiled the concept in whole, donning the name,  Gran Lusso Coupe. From the teaser, it was described to be a large GT coupe with a big V12 under the long hood, which in essence hints at a potential BMW 8-Series successor. Though despite the fact that the 2013 BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe isn’t explicitly described to be a an 8-Series successor by name, the last BMW coupe to house a V12 under its hood was the 8-Series. And since the 8-Series was axed in 1999, Roundel enthusiasts have long waited for an 8-Series sucessor. “The appeal of this collaboration with Pininfarina is that you get another, very different and special angle on facets like luxury and exclusivity,” said Karim Habib, BMW Design’s leader. “The Italian company, after all, has always been a byword for these criteria in particular, demonstrating time and again its keen sensitivity and exceptional finesse in these areas. In Pininfarina we have found the ideal partner to lend shape to this vehicle concept.” Also hinting at the 8-Series are some cues such as the long, sloping and wedged-shape hood, which carries fluidly and consistently along the car’s broad shoulder line that runs all the way to the trunk. Large windows and a raked rear-roofline all hint at the glory days of BMW’s former flagship two-door, while incorporating many of the current styling cues found in BMW’s current design philosophy. Altogether, it makes out to be one very attractive GT BMW Coupe. Though no official word has been released regarding a production version. But then again, majority of these concepts are built to gauge public interest. That said, egmCarTechers, do you think that this BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe is worthy contender for being a future 8-Series successor? And do you think BMW should produce this car? I could already tell you in a nutshell that our vote is yes. BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé. Cernobbio, 24 May 2013. BMW and Pininfarina are two of the most tradition-swathed names in the motoring world. Each is a byword for cutting-edge technology, style, dynamics and aesthetics.

Following the word that Land Rover scrapped their Defender replacement plans, new details came in surrounding the next car to be replaced in the small UK automaker’s stable: the current LR2, or as the Brits call it, the Freelander. Much like how the Freelander name was dropped stateside, the new replacement will also follow as the new car is said to be a member of the “new and extended Discovery Family.” It will be based off of an enlarged version of the current Range Rover Evoque platform. The naming scheme comes in part to unify the nomenclature system for Land Rover so that branding and marketing could allow for various forms of expansion. In other words, the way Land Rover sees it is that their models are actually sub brands within the brand. That said, the idea with the Discovery nameplate is to call the vehicle line the Discovery, but to offer various models under that nameplate. According to AutoCarUK, the Discovery range will be the lineup that offers a range of “rugged models designed for everyday use and aimed at adventurous families and outdoor enthusiasts.” Consequently, much in the same way the Range Rover nameplate has been divided with the flagship full-size Range Rover, the Range Rover Sport, and the Range Rover Evoque, you could probably expect a wide-range of crossover SUVs to be replacing the current Freelander and LR3/Discovery 3 as the new Discovery family comes to fruition. As of now, rumors point to a five- and seven-seater for SUV for the LR3/Discover 3 replacement, which will replace the Freelander altogether. Additionally, word is that a compact “urban” model is in the works and will most likely be based off of an even smaller version of the Evoque platform. Engines are projected to be a range of Jaguar-Land Rover’s new four-cylinder engines, including a supercharged unit. - By: Chris Chin Source: AutoCarUK

AutoCarUK reports that Infiniti will be launching a new electric vehicle based on the current Nissan LEAF and will be the first production car to showcase induction wireless charging, which means that no cables are required to recharge the car’s battery packs. Induction charging just describes the sort of wireless battery charging technology being researched today, which means that electricity is transferred through electromagnetic fields produced by induction coils. “The whole concept of not having to couple up cables to a plug socket, dragging them on the ground and on you as you go, is in keeping with luxury motoring,” said Infiniti’s head, Andy Palmer. “It is this technology we want to shine a light on, so while there is no world standard on methods, the roll-out will be dependent on region.” - By: Chris Chin Source: AutoCarUK

AutomotiveNews reports that Chrysler is developing a new top-dog 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 that is said to have a power figure nearing the 640hp mark of the SRT Viper’s 8.4L V10. It’s internally called the Hellcat and will debut in the next-generation Dodge Challenger, and perhaps some other vehicles as well, according to the report. Previous reports, such as one indicated by Chrysler’s enthusiast site, AllPar.com, along with details from apparent insiders have confirmed that this engine is in the works. However, other spokespeople have been noted to deny such claims. It wouldn’t be unreasonable however as the American Muscle wars are still in full speed with the Ford Shelby GT500 and the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, though Chrysler has soldiered on with just the top of the line Dodge Challenger SRT8, which isn’t exactly a good match for the former two. That said, this Hellcat engine may be Chrysler’s answer. Time frame? No word as of yet, except for the next generation Challenger’s projected launch date sometime in mid-2014 or by 2015 the latest. - By: Chris Chin Source: AutomotiveNews
