Rumor: Next BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe could be electric

The next generation BMW 8 Series (codename G77) is rumored to enter the production line in 2026. The third generation 8 Series will continue to use the CLAR rear-wheel drive platform which can accommodate any powertrain choice. But compared to the current G14/G15/G16 generation, the new luxury gran tourer might only come in an all-electric form.
