katsudon · 02-10-2011, 05:44 PM

so futuristic! love it! again, same for all concept cars, wish it'd be mass produced!

Would love to see its CF folding hardtop. It looks like an answer to the Porsche 918 Spyder, and it would be one if it had a NA V10.

I suspect it will get hybrid deseil engines like the vision dynamics

There you go.

Not even close

+1 this is the roadster version of the vision. Like it or not it will get a hybrid engine and no V10, V12, etc. This is not going to be an R8 rival

I have to say I am starting to be impressed by this Adrian van Hooydonk. I love the play on the "sci-fi" theme of these new concepts. I suppose Bangle trained him well.

antzcrashing · 02-10-2011, 07:49 PM

I like how it looks futuristic but not absurd. Nicely styled

Lol I beat you to it on page 1. Great minds think alike!

BMWBoss · 02-10-2011, 09:01 PM

Looks very futuristic...I like it...and I esp. love the headlights.

SB: Why does BMW always put ugly rims on their concepts?

I think this is the one you're inquiring about. I thought the same thing this am when I first saw this thread, but after looking at it, they aren't exactly similar.

I've been commenting negatively on every new car design BMW has brought out recently.

However, this car is the right direction in my mind. The driver's seat alone is a huge step forward. The design is worth putting in the next Hollywood SciFi flick. Think of the transformer this car would make!

Anyways, throw in a plasma induction engine producing 1.21 gigawatts and an anti-gravity field and you've got something I'd put in my garage.

My space garage.

Get some sense and grow up! Yes the car falls under the "vision" concept series. But the looks and design are very different. Two different concept cars designed by different teams. My point was that this car would look great with a hard top.

I believe the designer is a woman.

It actually is.

Exterior design is done by Juliane Blasi (also Z4 E89 exterior designer).
Interior design by Robert Hlinovsky.
Headlight & rear light graphics by Seungmo Lim.

The car looks amazing, even though i highly doubt it'll make into production with all the cool multicolored lights I really hope it does

Only thing I don't like is how the driver and passenger seats are different colors

Ryan_T · 02-11-2011, 10:47 PM

BMW meets TRON.

Awesome-sauce.

The seating pod looks like the evangelion entry plug cockpit. Which is even more awesome.
