BMW M760Li xDrive
evo Singapore|Vol 75 - March-April 2017

The fastest-accelerating Bmw road car to date isn’t all that it claims to be.

Stuart Gallagher
BMW M760Li xDrive

THE MOST POWERFUL BMW road car ever built. the fastest accelerating, too. Its long-wheelbase body also makes it the longest. And at over two tons it’s one of the heaviest to wear a tri-colour m-badge on its flanks and rump, making the BMW M760li xDrive the most unlikely performance car.

A folly, then. An exercise in excess for those with more disposable income than sense. the answer to a question no one asked, because let’s be honest, has anyone ever thought: ‘Yes. I need a 610hp, 800Nm 7-series that will reach 100km/h quicker than any BMW that has gone before’?

Actually, they have. Quite a few people, in fact, because BMW expects to sell at least $23 million’s worth of M760lis in the UK every year, and that revenue will only increase once the option boxes have been ticked and the Individual trim selected.
