The new 8 concept is about 2 inch shorter than the outgoing 6, so they aren't getting bigger in this price range.
The Gran Coupé if confirmed will naturally be longer than the Coupé (about +5 inch based on 6GC) to generate extra rear leg room.

You can always tell a Fisker. It comes with a lot of red ink. And a bankrupt company.

So are we just being duped to pay more?

The 8 is really still the 6 series (5 CLAR platform) V8 and no more, 8GC, all very 6 series familiar.

The render looks great, big car though.

I thought the same thing. BMW is using very smart marketing to discontinue the 6 and bring the 8, which would have been the same car, but now they can charge a premium just cause it's 8 series.

Either way it really looks amazing.

I don't know how people like this new "concept" 8 series, especially the GC version, ugly as sin IMHO..... I hope it looks a little toned down like the M8 seems to look under the camouflage.

would it be safe to assume that they will create a Gran Coupe version of this?

BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, codename G16, arriving in Fall 2019

Quote:
The resurrected BMW 8 Series family will give us three models over the course of the next decade. The first one – 8 Series Coupe – was already unveiled in Concept form, and will be followed next summer by the production model – codename G15 – and late in the year by the G14 8 Series Convertible. The third and final model will be the Gran Coupe variant – codename G16 – which is scheduled to arrive in third quarter of 2019.

Test mules are yet to be seen on public roads, but early renderings showcase the four-door coupe 8 Series as a sleek tourer with a long bonnet and short overhangs which will take on the likes of Aston Martin Rapide. The exterior design of the Concept 8 series is credited to John Buckingham, a Brit now working out of BMW’s DesignWorks studio in California, a design which will serve as the basis for the Gran Coupe.
