2013 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li Images Review :
Why be chauffeured when you can slay sports cars in stoplight drag races?.
The chrome “V-12” badge on the cover of the owner’s manual is the only place you’ll find a direct reference to the BMW 760Li’s engine configuration. Not a single exterior emblem declares the lofty cylinder count. In fact, the mightiest 7 looks essentially identical to its lesser siblings, even after the lineup’s subtle refresh for 2013. Whatever. Buyers who plunk down roughly $50,000 more than the cost of a V-8 750Li don’t need some stinking badge to tell the world they’re driving something special. Indeed, demonstrating the 760Li’s superiority is simply a matter of flooring the gas pedal.
The twin-turbocharged, 6.0-liter V-12 under the hood shuttles a burly 535 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque through a new-for-’13 eight-speed automatic. Rear drive is the only option with the V-12, as the driving gods intended. Ripping away from a stop, the 760Li reels in the horizon like Bill Dance hauling in a smallmouth, and acceleration is so rapid that the head-up display’s digital speed indicator can’t keep up. Numbers skip from 32 mph to 45, 67, 131, and so on, right up to the governed 155-mph top speed.
