Although I stand by the aforementioned opinion, India’s rapidly growing luxury car market and specifically the sports car segment isn’t without reason. Like any petrolhead, I always experience a mad rush of excitement when I see an Aston Martin or a Lamborghini pass by on the city streets. But after reading about the Parx Supercar Shows and the Cannonball Clubs of the country over the past year or so, a sense of how deep our pockets really are suddenly began to sink in.
But that raises the fundamental question of what really governs our thoughts when considering owning a sports car in India. The coupes, cabriolets, convertibles and Grand Tourers on sale today are all high on gloss and glam, but what is really going to change with the homecoming of the BMW’s third generation 6 Series Coupe?
Happy Face, Wider Base
You don’t need to stare for long to realise that this is indeed a gorgeous looking car. Compared to Chris Bangle’s dreary treatment on the outgoing 6 Series, the new one looks far more exciting, to say the least. Gone are the drooping headlights and morose facial expressions, to be replaced by something that is very pleasing to the eye.
The new BMW 6 Series Coupe undoubtedly has a more commanding presence and athletic elegance to it, and the new model’s extra length (4894mm) and width (1894mm) over its predecessor combined with a 5mm lower height has given the third generation model a lustworthy silhouette.
While those neat kidney grille slats emphasize the coupe’s sporting demeanour, the sweeping bonnet flanked by those marvellous looking bi-xenon headlamps and the optional LED foglamps below them endows the car’s front end with a new lease of life.
