2013 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo spied

The 3-Series sedan launched the newest addition to the family of BMW’s bread and butter model, the Gran Turismo.

Grand Turismo will have been go on sale by the end of 2012 or early 2013. The new 3GT will be designed in equal body styles with those of the 3 series, which include the four-door sedan, the two-door coupe, the five-door station wagon and the hardtop convertible, directing BMW its substantive rival to the Audi A5 Sportback.

Different from the Bavarian firm’s first GT model based on the 5-Series, the 3 GT seems to have sportier lines with a lower roof. However, the addition of the rear hatch at the back should improve practicality over the standard 3-Series sedan model.

Although the swirly camouflage leaves a lot to the imagination, except from the bespoke rear end styling, it looks like the 3 GT will also get a modified nose and frameless doors. It is expected there are some changes and unique to this body style features in the interior.

the rest of the F30 3-Series range including BMW’s spanking new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline unit, which has already been announced for the X1, 5-Series and Z4 roadster will be represented in this Gran Turismo’s engine. It enable the 3 GT to produces 245-horsepower, yet chances are we could see BMW following the VW Group’s example of offering the same engine in a variety of tunes and outputs. BMW’s range of four-and six-cylinder diesels as well as its turbocharged straight-six petrol will also be available.
