Luxury car maker BMW has put on sale its top of the line 7 series variant in India. This five seat ultra luxury sedan features a new 6.0-liter V-12 engine which follows BMW’s latest method of turbo charging and directs fuel injection to boost power. It churns out an impressive 535 bhp. The BMW 760Li comes with brand-new eight-speed transmission, also seen on the new 5-series, with its innovative gear set configuration, offering additional gears while maintaining the dimensions and weight of a conventional six-speed automatic. This model comes only in the long wheelbase layout. Heated and cooled front and rear seats are standard equipment along with a long list of other features.

bmw-760liBMW Claims a 4.6 second timing to 100kmph which seems completely believable for a car this size. Peak torque is available from 1500rpm onwards and it doesn’t let up until 5000rpm. Trying to exercise the engine, it results in so much speed that you are forced to back off before the engine gets even remotely vocal. And for a turbocharged engine, the response is extremely clean and immediate. Creating a personalized interior, given the wide range of materials, colors and creature comfort options could set a new design trend in the industry. There’s a choice of 12 colors, including four which were developed just for the 760s. At the suggested price of $137,425 this is spectacular value when contrasted to other V12s on the market from Audi, and Mercedes.
