Default CG image of next 7

Here are some interesting CG images of the next gen 7. From what I understand its about 70% accurate. The car will be very CS Concept inspired. I'm sure the grill will be a bit smaller and hopefully the rear will be tweaked. There are rumors that the interior we be managed by Rolls Royce's quality control. The car debuts early summer of this year. The 407hp, 450lb tq TT V8 motor should do wonders.





Thoughts??

Grille and taillights are too damn big, but other than that, looks about as expected. Maybe the grille and taillights are the 30% that's not accurate? Though, I think the entire rear will be a bit more imaginative.

Only way I'd consider any of these luxury barges is if they take some weight off. I do not think any car should weigh more than a minivan (4300 lbs for a typical minivan).

uh, with that motor under the hood, you can expect heat problems in any scenario - twin turbos places where they are - you're going to need all the grill you can get.

I dunno. I'm no engineer. 3-series grille didn't get bigger with twin turbos. Don't most cars take most their air from the bottom anyway?
