This machine comes with the lung of a monster and the heart of an angel. BMW 6Series, the latest, and arguably the hottest, convertible to hit the Indian roads offers a sedan enthusiast just that—and more.
The basics first: This second generation of series from the German auto giant churns out 367 brake horsepower from its V8-powered 4,799cc engine—zipping you from zero to 100km/ph in 5.3 seconds. Peak torque delivers top speed of 250km/ph (take off your cap or tie your hair before you roll down the roof).
Inspired by the Z9 concept, its design cuts air resistance to bare minimum; with a 2,780mm wheelbase—the longest in its class—allowing desired stability. In addition to standard safety features for its class, 6Series comes with infrared thermal image-aided night vision to sense heat-emitting objects at a distance of 300 metre ahead of the headlines range; poorly lit highways be damned.
