BMW LC5 CLS-Fighter 2011 Sedan Car

When the Jaguar, Volkswagen and Audi all working on rivals banana-shaped Mercedes-Benz CLS, did you think BMW would stand on the side? Of course not. In fact, BMW is preparing for a stretched version of the next 6-series, which has four doors and four seats under the roof like the coupe. The motor assembly consists of four units: the 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter turbocharged six, 400-horsepower, 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8, M version powered by 550 hp, 5.5-liter V-10, and 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder diesel.

Transmission offerings are also a traditional six-speed manual and two automatics, one dual-clutch design. Both automatics feature seven speeds and optional paddle-shift operation. The gear selector is a joystick, two parallel change modes: flick it to the left, and you have a manual flick it to the right, and you’re automatically. By pressing a button on the lever to lock the park. We should also see new electrohydraulic brakes, active steering, and wheels in size six p.m. to eight p.m. inches. Its credit, the BMW team is having a slightly different approach than the Mercedes-Benz. Car, codenamed LC5, makes no B-pillar. Instead, the structural integrity of the institution to support overlapping doors (the back of them always stick to the first and the last to open) and to strengthen the sills and side panels. All seats have integrated safety belts and a half bags. Oval-shaped lateral aperture and the connected door skins are supposed to help distribute the energy where the side impact.

It is not clear yet whether the new entrant is part of the 6-series BMW or a family would prefer to launch its 7-series coupe. Either way, the car is expected to reach showrooms in 2011, shortly after the 6-series coupe / convertible – and coincidentally the same time asthe second-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS, the car that started it all.
