The emotion-stirring exterior design clearly announces the BMW Vision Vehicle\u2019s performance potential, borrowing styling cues from both classic and contemporary sports cars in the process. The concept draws its inspiration from the iconic BMW Turbo and i8 plug-in hybrid and adopts a future-focused interpretation of design elements such as the low-slung, wedge-shaped silhouette, gullwing doors and striking colour scheme. The unmistakable sports-car proportions are composed of surfaces characterised by clarity and pared-down styling.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Pressing the touch sensor on the gullwing doors prompts them to swing open, revealing a cabin that merges the driver and vehicle into one. The classy, minimalist interior revolves entirely around the actively engaged driver, both stylistically and technologically. The interior appears as if cut from a single mould, with functional elements such as the air vents integrated almost out of sight.<\/p>\n<\/div>
