Look at it, just parked there looking all sexy and stuff.

The BMW 8 Series is back, and although a few pictures were leaked earlier in the year the official concept unveiling has now taken place.

Lake Como’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is where it all went down, and the peeps over at Jalopnik are pretty darn excited about it all.

Let’s leave them to it:

…the 8 Series Coupe [is] scheduled for a 2018 launch.

The nose and tail have got a little of the i8’s design elements in them and the lines are just so damn elegant. Sure, the front also looks slightly like a flattened head of some bottom-feeding fish, but it’s still very sleek. It looks like what the 6 Series Coupe would have evolved to look like.

I won’t hide my excitement for this car. In an age where coupes are dying and SUVs are taking over, I’m glad that this what BMW had to show us today. Its flagship spot has remained vacant for far too long.

Picture time:

Saucy.

We may as well watch the video, too, before we’re on our way:
