BMW will unveil its new PAS (Progressive Activity Sedan) this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And while waiting for the show to come, the car was caught having a "siesta" under a tree. Built on the new 5 Series platform, the PAS will be powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine delivering 272 horsepower. A direct-injection V8 delivering 420 hp is also possibly in the PAS’ future.
BMW will unveil its future PAS (renderings by AutoBild) at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, while sales will begin shortly after.
With a length of 4.90 meter, the future PAS will be longer than the new X6 SUV. Placed between the 5 and the 7-Series, the future PAS will borrow the engines from the future 5-Series. It will be offered as a RWD model, but FWD will be offered as an option.
Power will start from 272 hp for the 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine and will go up to 420 hp for the V8 version.
BMW is working on a new model that will be placed between the 5 Series wagon and the 2009 X6 SUV. As you know by now for sure, this new model is the Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) that will be launched in 2009.
The PAS is based on the new BMW 5 Series platform and will be powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine delivering 272 horsepower, and possibly a future direct-injection V8 delivering 420 hp.
Compared to the 5-Series it will feature a higher driving position, more passenger space and a much bigger boot, accessed by a large hatchback.
