Last night I posted one of the first renderings of what could possibly be BMW's design for the all-new 7-Series. Even though for 2013 we've just received a facelift, it's clear that BMW has bigger plans for the G11 7'er.
We know this because it's already been spotted a couple times undergoing developmental testing.
With Mercedes-Benz's new S-Class on the way we expect the 7'er to be armed to the teeth with technology and Autocar's latest report is saying something that actually surprises us.
The 7-Series will feature the usage of carbon fiber parts. Take, for example, a carbon fiber roof, hood and trunk lid.
Reputedly codenamed G11, the model model has already begun testing despite a recent facelift of the current generation.
The manufacturer's research and development chief, Klaus Draeger, said that the new 7-series will feature a mix of materials, with carbonfibre being used alongside aluminium and steel. The roof, bonnet and boot lid could potentially be made entirely from carbonfibre.
