BMW Neue Klasse Coupe EV Prototype Spied!

Mg. · 07-05-2024, 11:10 AM

If you told me this is a Polestar I would believe you. But that front is without a doubt, 100% certain Neue Klasse.

The comically large wheels makes it look too high off the ground though, imo.

JMD · 07-05-2024, 11:15 AM

Who! So, how many designs do you see in that thing?

Model 3,
Taycan
1st Gen Chevy Bolt
Fisker Karma, or is it a...
Hog-Nosed Snake

ledphut · 07-05-2024, 11:18 AM

Cue the mouth breathers talking shit about the looks of a fully camouflaged prototype…

The fact that BMW is even considering putting resources into a 2 door sports car is something we all should be raving about.

bholler · 07-05-2024, 11:26 AM

This car needs a drop badly

buddenfan · 07-05-2024, 11:27 AM

Haters will hate just like everything BMW releases over the last few years but damn this looks sexy as hell to me. Reminds me a little though of the Ferrari Puresangue

Mr. Jonathan · 07-05-2024, 11:32 AM

Unless the wheels fold under as the car lifts off the ground to take off after throwing a banana peal and half empty beer into “Mr. Fusion”, I don’t want to hear about it. It’s another EV that weighs 4 tons, has numb steering, and zero potential to generate or continue BWM enthusiasm/car culture.

At least they are looking into making a coupe instead of another SUV.

How do you know its weight? I guess I’ve missed it in the article. And how do you know it has numb steering like m2? It’s pretty cool that you have access to BMW prototypes, if that’s the case?

Or..

I think it's a little more MR2 Turbo

xlover · 07-05-2024, 11:55 AM

Insiders are showing 2 versions of the next gen i4 can only assume this coupe is one and a 4 door grand coupe is the other.

yousefnjr · 07-05-2024, 12:01 PM

Would bang. Looks like 2+2 at most, maybe even just 2 seater… hub motors like an e-skate is funny. Is this thing going to reverse the motors for braking? Prob a lot harder to manage in a car compared to a 200 lb skateboard+rider

Polestar was my first thought too. I do think those are good looking cars though, so not a bad thing imo

BMW culture and enthusiasm for cars is pretty broad imo. Plenty to geek out about and appreciate for all sorts of things. I love M cars as much as the next guy, but honestly I think the dorky little i3 was one of the best and most interesting cars they’ve ever made. Count me as excited to see and learn more about what’s coming down the road.

moriluvatar · 07-05-2024, 12:02 PM

I don’t know quite what to make of this. High rear end, high ground clearance, unusual proportions. Hmmm.

CFoote · 07-05-2024, 12:09 PM

Yeah no thanks. I'm not a EV consumer anyway.

hufington · 07-05-2024, 12:11 PM

Exhaust cut outs for an EV coupe?

LuisBoston · 07-05-2024, 12:15 PM

Cool!

I get some strong Dodge Daytona vibes.

But they gotta sell those SUVs to offset the money pit that are coupes.

Yeah, I know they make the money on the SUVs. I get that. But I don't want them to axe all the coupes and convertibles

Perhaps to compete with the upcoming Porsche Boxster/Cayman EVs!

Bimmerfun82 · 07-05-2024, 12:51 PM

I’d never have guessed that was a BMW. Is it the little vertical lights in the front that give it away?
