BMW Concept Gran Coupé revealed- BMW 8 Series?

BMW's Gran Coupe Concept - a four door coupe - revealed in Beijing Despite the imposing (5m long) BMW Concept Gran Coupé being a surprise showing from BMW, we really shouldn’t be at all surprised.

Toyota, on the other hand, have primarily used their impressive – if complicated and expensive – hybrid powertrains to yield improved economy and emissions from more prosaic cars like the Prius, Yaris and Auris. But now it looks like Toyota are ready to show us what hybrid technology can offer in the way of performance too, with a tease for what Toyota are calling the Hybrid-R Concept, which appears to be a Yaris with more than 400bhp on tap.
