Joy Defines the Future. BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept.

[klier]

I really hope you're right, but BMW is scared of high end cars. And with the VED confirmed for production, I think we're going to have to wait a while for the next high end car... But I really hope I'm wrong and you're right!!!

The Z Spyder Stradale will be the Premium Roadster for the topend of the market. It is due to hit the market in 2015. Early projections look at giving the car a V8 and a Six Cylinder both turbo charged and next generation.
A Hybrid Six Cylinder will also be offered.
The car will get a hardtop roof that will fold in two pieces. Preliminary ideas have already begun using computer simulations of ideas.

Early design projections showcase the ideas ranging from the California Spyder merging with the Vision Efficient Dynamics. but there is a sense of Z8 familiarness. about it especially the long bonnet , short rear overhang of the Z8. The 507 and Z8 are or where in the studio for reference.

The key to making Z Spyder Stradale is both the construction with the Vision Efficient Dynamics and the Megacity Vehicle. It will allow BMW to mass produce carbon Fibre components.

And what would be the yop engine?. M6 one?.

^^ I wouldn't take it with a grain of salt, but with a whole kilo of salt.

I guess what happens is that for that amount of money, people consider other brands before BMW, as Mercedes, Masserati, Ferrari and so on.

Remember the same story came out in 2006: a new Z8, the CS...

PD: A Huckfeldt render of the Z8 back in 2006:

Yeah.....2006. From 2006 to 2015 is 9 years. So many things change in 9 years, that chop there is worthless, including the written text.

the interior looks pretty production ready (=not as awesome as the concept)

not even close to production ready....pretty much a bunch of different parts from other BMWs...

they have not finalized it yet, I heard the Megacity could drive some of the interior cues.

Apart from those sinister headlights, the rest of the car looks positively hideous, especially the rear-end. The tech may be excellent, but design wise it leaves a lot to be desired...but then again it is a 'Vision' concept.

 

[zedival]

Formal protest!!! What happened to our "black and white Spiral camo"??
This one looks like my pijamas!!

 

[SCOTT27]

They "shared" the camouflage from the MINI Coupe Prototypes.

the car is not even close to be finalized, this includes design as well. Expect significant changes, different doors, etc...

You guys forget that this car will come out in 2014.

I don´t think it sounds specially good when the videos are with music.

I am stunned! But not in a good way.

I wonder how far from its core values can BMW go? I know that some of you will crucify me for these words, but I just have to say it.

I'm slowly moving away from BMW. I don't like what I see.

To begin with, do you know why I like the LF-A so much? Because it has a fabulous engine. I mean FABULOUS. Lexus could very well do it the green way, and put the Prius drivetrain system in the LF-A body and sell it as the ultimate green sportscar. But they didn't. And do you know why? Because this is the essence of the automotive excellence. A N/A highrevving engine that sounds like paradise, offered alongside a fantastic chassis. Oh, and RWD (footie, don't you dare to say that AWD is superior).

But BMW did a 180 degrees turn and will offer us a green sportscar, with very thin wheels, a diesel motor with a few electic motors at each wheel. Which means the VED or whatever it will be called (*) with be an AWD car. Probably due to efficiency.

Then it's the hybrid system. If you want to offer a car of which the strong selling point is its driving pleasure (it's supposed to be a BMW) then why the hybrid system? Because it's the future? Because BMW is going green? Because of the environment? I don't know and I don't want to. I just want to see something that's true to the BMW's tradition.

I never imagined that someone at Munich would be so jealous of the Prius...

I'm getting sick of the idea of hybrid sportscars. If you want to sell hybrids, then sell it in a body that makes sense.

(*) Please, when you decide on the name of this thing, notify me, because it's getting quite tiring to follow the name changes every week.

The car is so stunning in its design, i only hope that when the eletric era will def replace the petrole one, BMW will stand at the absolut top, otherwise what a monumental waste.

The motoring is going to change. Petrol addicts will age, and younger generations will perceive hybrid, electric cars sporty and dynamic. Petrol cars will be ancient in their eyes. Like analogue music devices are, despite some producing more pleasant natural rich sound than any hi-tech digital device. Have you ever driven electric go-karts? Apart from the lack of distinctive petrol smell & loud engine noise the driving experience is much better in electric vehicles. Sure driving experience is different. Some may think it's too artificial but our kids and grandchildren will grow up with electric cars, and to them electric car driving sensation will be the benchmark, and more natural. Manufacturers have to develop products for the new generations, and leave grandpas behind. It's a thing called life.
