The new BMW 7 Series already sets the benchmark in luxury performance
motoring - and now BMW is moving up the standard of maximum exclusivity
and supremacy in this supreme class to an even higher level, following
a completely new definition: The new BMW 760i and the new BMW 760Li are
taking over the top position within BMW's model portfolio, representing
the highest level of motoring refinement in their segment. The heart
and foundation of this exceptional new standard comes from the
twelve-cylinder power unit featured in both top models in the BMW 7
Series. Developed as a completely new engine from the ground up, the
V12 is a master¬piece of modern engine technology. Superior power
of 400 kW/544 hp comes at an engine speed of 5,000 rpm, with maximum
torque of 750 Newton-metres (553 lb-ft) from just 1,500 rpm. Combined
with the likewise brand-new eight-speed automatic transmission, this
twelve-cylinder offers not only unparalleled motoring refinement, but
also supreme driving dynamics through its ability to convert seemingly
unlimited power reserves spontaneously and with precise control at all
times into supreme driving dynamics. Once again, BMW's
twelve-cylinder power unit is the epitome of refined performance, grand
touring comfort, and stylish exclusivity. The new BMW 760i as well as
the new BMW 760Li with its wheelbase extended by 14 centimetres or
5.5" for particular comfort - if not to say, luxury - at the rear,
provide the clear answer to the question as to what one may expect of a
genuine luxury performance saloon, with fascinating new features
underscoring BMW's claim to leadership in the luxury segment. The
drivetrain with all its technical features is a masterpiece of supremacy
in every respect. This applies both to the 6.0-litre all-aluminium
power unit with TwinPower Turbo Technology, ¬High Precision
Injection with fuel injected directly into the combustion chambers, and
to BMW's infinite double-VANOS camshaft adjustment as well as the
eight-speed automatic transmission featured for the first time in a
BMW. Benefiting from all these technologies, the new BMW 760i and the
BMW 760Li offer a new standard of motoring refinement, dynamic
performance and all-round efficiency in a vehicle with this kind of
power and output. Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 4.6*) seconds,
average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is 12.9*) litres/100
kilometres on the new BMW 760i. In determining the cars' fuel
consumption, BMW's engineers have already taken the stricter EU5
emission standard into account, meaning that with the cars' performance
improving significantly fuel consumption is down by approximately 4.5
per cent versus the former model. *) Provisional figures
