The BMW Vision Driving experience makes noise in several ways. It is a lively concept with a self -calm color and a controversial rear end. The interior is a strong departure of current models by containing a large central touchscreen. However, the most interesting part of the car is not immediately noticeable.
The strange sound you hear does not come from a combustion engine because the VDX is purely electrical. It is also not the artificial noise -EVS that are made in certain parts of the world to draw viewers aware of their presence. And no, the brakes don’t squeak. The high sound actually comes from the five fans who added BMW underneath. Your job is to increase the output of the car, even if it stands still.
The attracters literally suck the VDX onto the street, without a large rear wing, which would significantly change the design. We will admit that the attracters sound a bit annoying after a while, but this is just a concept car. We very much doubt that BMW is planning to start a car with five built -in fans. Nevertheless, the only McMurtry traces, which provides the same aerodynamic purpose with its unusual underbody fan, is available for purchase.
BMW informed us that the dispensers generate 1,000 kg (£ 2,204) static output. The five fans do not create a train, but need 50 kW to work. When the car moves, the active aero bits of the carbon fiber body add another 200 kg. It is only a shame that there are no pictures that show the underbody of the VDX to see how all the magic happens.
The downforce of the concept and the Aero trick are exaggerated for a limousine in the 3 Series class. I mean, we cannot realistically expect BMW to launch an electric M3 with up to 1,700 hp and 18,000 Nm (13,276 LB-FT). But even if the rumored “ZA0” is much more improved, the VDX says that the first EV of the M division may be the ultimate (electrical) driving machine.
