No one can remain indifferent when a contemporary BMW drives by. Some of them look like they could be a page out of Minecraft-level design – like the compact M2 and the new X2. Others think its twin coffin-style grille (4 Series, M3, M4) would be fitting for Hollywood’s latest vampire blockbuster. Then there’s the iX and 7 series and the whole list of i7, X7 LCI or the mighty XM, to name just a few of the more recent exotics.
Soon the “Neue Klasse” (New Class) concept will usher in a completely new styling language – it’s hard to fathom where the designers are heading. Beyond that, there are more “normal” models, such as the new 5 Series and i5, although both are not without their critics. However, sometimes it’s easy to understand their style. There are beautiful cars, like the Gran Coupe variants, and there are ugly cars, like the Gran Turismo fastback, and everything in between.
Well, since you can’t court controversy with every decision, BMW recently decided to ditch the GT and ditch the body style. However, not everyone agrees that these should disappear entirely. Sometimes, these guys even take matters into their own hands—or rather, at the tip of their CGI brushes, to be more precise. Such is the realm of imagination for digital automotive content creators. For example, virtual artist Sugar Chow (known as Sugardesign_1 on social media) decided to solve BMW’s problem with an ugly GT model.
Pixel Master believes that the GT is more suitable for pure electric models, so it recommends the i6 model, a fastback inspired by the G60 BMW 5 Series and i5, but with a sloping body design that provides more space for rear passengers and their luggage. Lots of space. Fastback sedan roofline. Well, it’s not hard to imagine this BMW i6 showing up across China with a larger wheelbase and the same powertrain options than the corresponding i5.
These include a base eDrive 40 variant with RWD, an 84.3 kWh battery pack, and an electric motor making no less than 335 hp and 317 lb-ft (430 Nm) with Sport Boost or Launch Control functionality. Then there’s the dual-motor eAWD M60 xDrive version with Sport Boost or M Launch Control, with combined outputs of 593 hp and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm).
