Before BMW launched the second-generation 8 Series in 2018, the company teamed up with Pininfarina for a special concept car. The pair created the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe, a stunning one-off designed to preview the brand's next flagship offering. Although BMW never intended to turn the Gran Lusso Coupe into a production model, it shared many similarities with the production G81 8 Series that would debut five years later.
