BMW Goes For Broke With Redical Vision Driving Experience Quad Motor Test Mule

The radical BMW Vision Driving Experience is a quad-motor, high-performance test vehicle that is being used to hone the advanced technology that will power its next-generation of Neue Klasse electric vehicles – including the forthcoming M3 EV.

 

While the powertrain layout, featuring four high-power motors mounted on each axle, has clear parallels to plans for the next-generation M3, BMW insists the Vision Driving Experience serves a wider purpose as a rolling test rig. Because the focus is on vehicle development, BMW has not given a power output for the machine.

 

Other radical elements included the fitment of five fans designed to suck it to the ground - like the McMurtry Spéirling - and, a new addition for the Shanghai motor show, a see-in-the-dark livery which BMW says "underscores the innovativeness of the car".
