BMW Vision M Next

The BMW Vision M Next is a concept study for a hybrid sports car from BMW, shown first in Munich and then at the IAA motor show in 2019. It was seen as a possible successor to the BMW i8, whose production ended in 2020, but in April 2020 it became known that the car would not be built in series. The system output of 441 kilowatts (600 PS) comes from an in-line four-cylinder turbo engine and two electric motors, one on the front axle and two driving the rear axle, and about 100 kilometres of pure electric range were quoted. Designer José Casas gave the 4.58 metre body gull-wing doors and very short overhangs that recall the BMW Turbo and the BMW M1, and it is made of recycled carbon material. A curved display replaces the instruments and the head-up display uses the whole windscreen.
