The 76th Cannes Film Festival (May 16-27) will once again benefit from BMW’s services. The Bavarian manufacturer will provide a fleet of electric limousines.
The red carpet won’t be limited to the steps of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. BMW will also roll it out to be the exclusive partner by providing a fleet of 200 electric vehicles. Yes, you read that correctly: 200! The crown jewel of the Bavarian manufacturer’s lineup will be the i7 M70 xDrive. A 2.8-ton limousine capable of delivering 660 hp and 1,100 Nm of torque. As for the price, it remains unknown for now, as the model is not in the catalog. It will significantly exceed 200,000 euros.
The exterior, reminiscent of a science fiction film, is not the main feature of this i7. True luxury lies inside the cabin, specifically at the rear. The two passengers, very likely film enthusiasts given the context of the Cannes Festival, will be able to enjoy a giant 31.3-inch diagonal screen. The audio system is entrusted to Bowers & Wilkins. Sufficient to affirm that this BMW i7 M70 is a true moving cinema. Now, it remains to see whether the stars will be willing to step out of it to climb the stairs. Not so sure.
