I guess these are already available? I saw one in a parking lot. Snapped a few (blurry) pics of it as I was backing up. Still wouldn't want one. It's got a really small wheel to body ratio. Looks funky

Thats not a 6 GT. It's a LCI 5 GT
There's going to be a new 5gt and a 6gt? This is definitely not the current 5gt. You can't tell due to my awful pics but the tail lights are completely different

Agreed. It's not the new 6 GT.

LMFAO

That's the 5GT LCI. They revised the rear to make it look slightly better.

I agree - the wheel/size ratio is AWFUL. I realized what really ruins it though - the massive greenhouse. i just saw a picture of a lowered M5 face-to-face with a lowered GT. Both had the same height up till the hood, but the GT has a more humped windshield which adds to the height. I really don't imagine many people looking at the regular 5 series and saying, "Hmm, I need a bigger windscreen"

Yes, it is as heinous in person. That thing looks like an X6 from the back. I know the 6GT isn't out yet, but I have run into a couple 5GT's recently and spent some time trying to appreciate the car, but it just doesn't have a good side. I can only conclude that the people who buy it do so for utilitarian reasons and not aesthetics. If I am buying a hatchback, it's a Audi S7 all day.

Oh wow I didn't realize they'd made an LCI 5gt. I guess that speaks loads about the buy rate of this car if this is the first time I've ever seen one.
