The BMW M Concept Neue Klasse celebrated its world premiere at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, showcasing the new BMW M design language for the brand’s all-electric future. Does this next-generation all-electric BMW M have the visual excitement that is lacking in the Ferrari Luce?
A distinctive air outlet shapes the V-shaped front bonnet, supporting the cooling of the electric drivetrain. New M Yellow Light icons are set to become a new signature feature of future BMW M cars and reference GT racing cars as well as the BMW M Hybrid V8. Another new lighting accent for future BMW M cars are the three-dimensional Track Lights located in the outer sections of the front apron. Track Lights also shape the rear apron of the BMW M Concept Neue Klasse. A ducktail spoiler improves aerodynamics and increases downforce at the rear axle. The interior of the BMW M Concept Neue Klasse features four newly developed bucket seats.
The BMW M eDrive drive concept has four electric motors and BMW M Dynamic Performance Control. BMW M eDrive is based on the Neue Klasse’s Gen6 technology and was developed specifically for all-electric BMW M cars. The integrated, wheel-specific control of the drivetrain and braking systems enables high recuperation performance, optimal traction right up to the limit and direct response.
The BMW M Concept Neue Klasse features 800-volt technology and a high-voltage battery with an energy content of more than 100 kWh. A BMW M-specific optimised version of sixth-generation cylindrical cells provides particularly high output when delivering energy to the electric motors and during charging. The housing of the high-voltage battery is structurally integrated with both the front and rear axle.
