BMW's Big Surprise in Shanghai - The Concept CS (GALLERY)

BMW debuted their new Concept CS at the Shanghai Auto Show. It is a four-door coupe and a likely competitor to the Mercedes-Benz CSL and Porsche Panamera.
The new Concept CS, taking it name from the highly styled BMWs of the ‘60s is even larger than the current flagship - the 7-series. It is lower, wider and longer. And I wonder - faster? It brings a new style to the BMW family with it’s shark like “nose” and the grill being a reminder of the ‘60s grills from BMW. It does have a resemblance to the Z-8 though, seen from the front.
The biggest surprise is probably the fact that the car was debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show, instead of the auto shows in Europe or the US.
For a concept car, it doesn't look too concept, suggesting the high-end luxury ride may go into production soon. If you were to see one of these whipping down the road tomorrow, you would stare in awe, but not disbelief. BMW chose to debut the car in China. Surely familiar with the weight such a message carries in face-heavy China, BMW is probably trying to win some market share and consumer goodwill with the gesture.
