2017 BMW M760Li 610hp Interior and exterior design overview The new BMW M760i is the first 7-series that is an M Performance model, finally providing an adequate response to the Audi S8 and Mercedes-AMG S63 and S65 entries. It is also—for now, at least—the first and only 12-cylinder iteration of the new 7-series.
The M760i’s twin-turbocharged V-12 engine is here upgraded to 6.6 liters of displacement and a whopping 600 horsepower, available at 5500 rpm. Maximum torque is rated at 590 lb-ft, served up at a low 1500 rpm. This awesome power translates into equally impressive on-road performance: The sprint from zero to 62 mph is a matter of 3.9 seconds, according to BMW, and the top speed of 155 mph can be optionally raised to a full 190 mph (at least in Europe).
A rear-biased all-wheel-drive system is standard; torque is fed through BMW’s quick-shifting, ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic (with launch control). The M760i also comes with 20-inch wheels in Cerium Gray matte finish, and its sport-tuned chassis includes standard rear-wheel steering.
Of course, the M760i also looks the part: The M Aerodynamic package is standard, the front air intakes are enlarged, and there is more Cerium Gray and gloss-black trim. V-12 badges abound both inside and out, and there is a quadruple-outlet exhaust system that looks great and sounds even better.
The M760i arrives in U.S. dealerships in early 2017. Welcome, 7-series, to the M family. We think you’ll fit in quite well.

Luxury/Comfort/Convenience Available All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) helps maintain a preset following distance from the vehicle ahead, using radar technology to sense the speed of a vehicle traveling directly in front. In stop-and-go traffic, it can apply the brakes to stop the car at speeds below 24 mph if the vehicle ahead stops and can automatically resume tracking the vehicle ahead, accelerating from a stop, by moving the cruise control lever up or depressing the accelerator pedal. The available Automatic High Beam (AHB) system features a camera located in the inside rear-view mirror that detects light sources in front of the vehicle — including the headlamps of oncoming vehicles, the tail lamps of a vehicle ahead and street lighting - to automatically adjust the high beams on and off accordingly. Front seats minimize pressure peaks and increase support. Both front seats feature a standard heating and cooling system with large heating and cooling areas for reduced heating and cooling times. AWD models feature a standard heated steering wheel and Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heating elements, which warm the front cabin area quickly after vehicle start-up. Windshield de-icer and headlamp washers are standard on AWD models.

A Heritage of Great Music
The supremely quiet Lexus LS cabin gives passengers the comfort to admire the craftsmanship that has set Lexus apart for decades. That tradition continues in the Lexus LS’ standard 10-speaker Premium Sound System with its Digital Sound Processor and Automatic Sound Levelizer.
For those who delight in concert-grade sound in an automobile, the Lexus LS offers the optional Mark Levinson Reference Surround System. The 19-speaker system provides a 5.1 home theater surround experience using 7.1 architecture and discrete circuitry. The 450-watt, 15-channel amplifier covers the 20Hz-20kHz frequency range with less than 0.1% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) – a stunning achievement in mobile audio. Notably, it will play from virtually any digital format, including CD.
