It was over a year since Car Paparazzi surprised us with pictures of this fascinating camouflaged vehicle. Obviously, a new class coupé, the camouflaged BMW, was never seen again. It remains unclear whether the car was intended as a concept or prototype. However, the fact that it was caught in motion indicates that the high -ranking, two -door EV was a functional test car.
The coupé has come and gone since then, with BMW staying closely liquidated all the time. After what we have heard, nothing will come from this enigmatic prototype. Nevertheless, this does not mean that Munich closes the door of a sports car with the base of NEE class. The company’s F&E boss, Joachim Post, told the Australian media that the new hardware is “feasible” to develop a dedicated performance vehicle.
In an interview with Drive The magazine, the board member of BMW for developments, said that NK was developed for a variety of models: “BMW’s philosophy was also too … We say ‘kit’, and that means that we have non -profit parts for different types of cars and different segments. Standardized parts can be combined for a variety of products, from the new IX3 to a potential sports car.
Post noticed that the Kit The approach enables BMW to start more than 40 new or updated cars by the end of 2027. AS BMWblog Exclusive reports, IX5 and IX7 battery technology of the sixth generation will take round cells, even if they maintain the Clar platform. This high level of modularity not only accelerates development, but also reduces the technical costs through scale effects.
Nevertheless, the statement is far from the fact that an electric sports car is traveling. The upcoming influx of models will concentrate on volume products, which is why the IX3 and the i3 of the next year lead the rollout. Logic suggests that the new class line -up from BMW could only give space for a niche product. The actual profits come from core models such as SUVs and limousines, not from low volume cars. So the biscuit crumbles in the auto industry.
After all, BMW is a business that has to remain profitable to keep the light and a new sports car would not move the needle. It would not increase its attractiveness either. If at all, it would have the opposite effect. For ice sloyalists, the inline-Six and V8 are not going anywhere. M will continue to refine the S58 and S68 in order to meet the regulations of Euro 7, so that the company’s greatest kidnapping engines still have a future.
