The BMW Vision M NEXT, an electrified sports model, is equipped with intelligent technology, based on the D+ACES (design + autonomous driving, connectivity, electrification and services).
It demonstrates the potential of BMW’s BOOST experience concept in creating the ultimate active driving experience.
It represents a conceptual counterpart to the BMW Vision iNEXT, which showcases BMW’s EASE concept and encompasses all the experiences available when the vehicle assumes the task of driving.
Design elements like the low, wedge-shaped silhouette, gullwing doors and distinctive color concept are future-focused references to the BMW Turbo and BMW i8.
The Power PHEV drive concept — with an electric motor at both the front and rear axle — enables pure-electric rear-wheel drive and pure-electric all-wheel drive (to keep the car glued to the road).
In addition, a powerful four-cylinder petrol engine can send power directly to the rear wheels.
Maximum output of 600 hp provides 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in three seconds.
BOOST+ mode provides extra power at the touch of a button. The car alerts the driver to the ideal moment for BOOST+.
Front and rear sections are finished in matt-neon thrilling orange, producing a vivid contrast against the exterior’s otherwise silk-matte cast silver metallic paintwork.
The front end presents a confident and modern interpretation of two classical BMW icons — the kidney grille and four-eyed front end. The debut application of innovative laser wire light technology provides a striking light design.
Large air intakes and a front spoiler made from recycled carbon bring a racing-car aesthetic.
With its two-tone, horizontal segmentation, the rear end accentuates the car’s width. Rear lights with laser wire technology frame the rear end. The pair of BMW roundels — with a modern, two-dimensional twist — reference the BMW Turbo and BMW M1 and appear to float within the rear lights.
The fluid sculpturing of the interior merges the driver and car into one. The integrated seat shells provide excellent comfort and optimum support.
The BOOST Pod is the interface between driver and vehicle. It unifies all control options and information on three visual tiers directly ahead of the driver. The first plane is formed by the horizontally arranged steering wheel featuring two small displays. The second plane is a curved glass display, which is making its debut appearance and stretches around the steering wheel. The full-surface augmented reality head-up display in the windscreen constitutes the third plane.
