BMW Vision ConnectedDrive

The Vision ConnectedDrive is a two-seater sports car concept built by BMW that features new advanced driver assistance aids. It had its world premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and, unlike earlier Vision concept cars, BMW has no intention of building it, using it instead to show off its latest design and technology developments. Unlike the 2008 GINA fabric-skinned concept it uses more traditional materials in an equally modern design, which BMW's head of design Adrian van Hooydonk calls a layered surface. The front grille keeps the BMW style, the front and rear lighting monitors the surrounding traffic, and the doors are a variation of the 1989 Z1 with the outer skins sliding forward and the inner door sliding backwards. Unconventional lighting is integrated into the overall design, from the bonnet area and around the seats to the rear boot lid, and the interior is very driver orientated.
