It sounds to me like an evolution of (or replacement for) the M67 V8 last used in the E65 745d. That is to say, this will likely be a new V8 diesel. I would guess power close to 400hp and at least 600 ft-lb of torque.
No, it won't be V8 but three turbo set-up, 6-cylinder diesel. Known for a year at least.

Scott, I'd highly appreciate if any information about possible xDrive version of Gran Coupe is available? New 6-series is claimed to adopt xDrive but how about Gran Coupe?

I'll replace my E60 xDrive with new 6er xDrive, but would prefer Gran Coupe if AWD is likely to come out in it.
