Super aggressive but the the back kind of looks like an E/S class from this angle anyway, not sure if I like it.

I doubt they'd be building the website pages now for a car that isn't launched for another 12 months or so.

You might be surprised how much in anticipation things like this are built.

Very good photoshop if that's the case.

To me it looks like the current LCI 7 with a revised front end slapped on it, and working for a large multinational myself I'd be very surprised actually...

My last issue of Motor Trend showed what appeared to be a picture of it. It wasn't pretty!

If that's the new 7, it is one ugly machine!

I am still waiting for confirmation from my private channels.

But based on the details (like the body lines on the sides) it seems valid. I don't like the front though, looks like it would be a photoshop work indeed. Maybe even by someone from BMW team

EDIT: Just got a confirmation from 2 sources its a fake.

So you are saying this is a fake?

The URL is not working, but I've seen the real deal yesterday.

In short:
- the render mentioned by OP is very close, but toned down, like a concept made by 10y old,
- while I was not into new 7 series, I am in love,
- the thing that comes to mind at first time is 'damn, thats a PREDATOR look' (that Predator, from Alien vs Predator).

I am impressed and waiting/hoping for V8 to be available.

EDIT: No V8 I'm a sad panda

Is a I6 hybrid the top drivetrain? That might not be a bad idea and probably more reliable than the V8 given the 50is history.

I remember the current Lexus grill was referred to as the Predator grill when it first came out.

No idea, wasn't that interested in those details. I believe somewhere here on Bimmerpost there is a thread mentioning that the high end model will be BEV one.

If they pull the split headlight front end, I will permanently move to Porsche. I had been considering the XM or the new 7 Series, but these renders just look bad.
