Great new concept for electric SUVs from BMW Group this morning - setting out their Neue Klasse X concept for the next generation of SUVs. Hopefully the wheel sizes will be tempered to deliver market leading energy efficiency when they launch. But I love the light interior - proper future design. I was lucky enough to borrow the i3 and i8 for a week when they first launched in the UK nearly 10 years ago - and they were both a vision for the future back a decade ago. The neue klasse concept announced by BMW last year for their saloon cars is the one that really grabs my interest though - not a fan of SUVs. Exciting times ahead for the industry as a whole. How far can the new technology take drivers during the 20s. Making battery electric the obvious choice for all new car buyers. #batteryelectric #EV https://lnkd.in/eAKQZdKn

BMW's current X5 has been around since 2019 and will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2025, but a new generation is already in development. The next X5 promises fully electric powertrains, alongside combustion and hybrid options, with a design inspired by the Neue Klasse X concept. This model will likely debut around 2026. The upcoming X5 will retain its classic SUV shape but feature modern touches like flush door handles and an EV-focused design. Up front, it will have a sleek kidney grille and bold headlights, while the sides will showcase sharp, simple creases. The rear is expected to retain the popular split tailgate design, with updated taillights like those on the 2025 X3. Inside, the new X5 might adopt BMW's latest dashboard layout, with wide screens for a futuristic look. While BMW is moving toward the Neue Klasse platform, the next X5 will ride on the CLAR architecture, allowing it to offer combustion, hybrid, and fully electric powertrains. At the top of the lineup will likely be the X5 M60e hybrid, with options similar to the 5 Series lineup. The fully electric iX5 is expected to share motors with the i5 sedan, which produces 593 horsepower and 586 lb-ft of torque, reaching 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. The X5 will likely be slightly slower due to its larger size. Currently, the X5 sDrive40i starts at $66,875 (€63,000 / £55,000), with the X5 M60i priced at $91,175 (€86,000 / £75,000). The next-generation X5 is expected to start around $70,000 (€66,500 / £58,000), with top models nearing $100,000 (€95,000 / £83,000). The X5M Competition, currently over $120,000, may not be the only six-figure variant when the new model arrives. #bmw #bmwneueklasse #bmwx5 #2026bmwx5 #automotivefuturology #futurecars20 #avarvariiautomotiveartworks #BMWClub #BMWGang #BMWElectric #BMWModels #BMWs #BMWMotors #BMWOwners #BMWFans #BMWLife #BMWNation #CarDesign #CarRendering

E-Motoren ermöglichen andere Dinge als Verbrenner. Das ist eher die #kurzfristige Innovation die wir sehen werden und evtl mehr Leute davon überzeugt auf E zu wechseln als "dumm" einen Verbrenner zu kopieren. Ich bin immer noch der Ansicht, das Tesla mit seinem Bildschirm und der Pfurzfunktion überzeugte und nicht mit Auto. Jetzt hats BMW und Co kopiert und nun läufts halt wieder zum Verbrenner. Aber genau in dem was die Hyundai Kollegen zeigen liegt doch der Unterschied. Andere Technologie = Andere Ideen und Ansätze. Also: Nicht kopieren sondern neu denken.

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking As of my last update in January 2022, BMW Manufacturing Co., LLC hadn't released a production vehicle with a V8 hybrid powertrain under the "M" performance brand. However, BMW is known for continuously innovating and developing new technologies, including hybrid powertrains, to improve performance and efficiency across their lineup. It's possible that BMW may introduce a hybrid V8 powertrain in future models, especially as the automotive industry increasingly shifts towards electrification and hybridization to meet stricter emissions regulations and satisfy consumer demand for more sustainable vehicles without compromising performance. BMW M Hybrid V8 areodynamics While there isn't specific information available regarding the aerodynamics of a hypothetical BMW M Hybrid V8, we can speculate on how BMW might approach aerodynamic enhancements for such a vehicle based on their current practices and trends in automotive design. Active Aero Elements: A BMW M Hybrid V8 may feature active aerodynamic elements such as a deployable rear spoiler, active grille shutters, and adjustable air intakes. These components could automatically adjust based on speed, driving conditions, and performance mode to optimize airflow for both cooling and aerodynamic efficiency. Underbody Aerodynamics: BMW might incorporate aerodynamic underbody panels, diffusers, and airflow management systems to minimize drag and enhance stability at higher speeds. These features would help smooth airflow underneath the vehicle, reducing turbulence and improving overall aerodynamic performance. Air Curtains and Air Breathers: Similar to other BMW M models, the M Hybrid V8 could utilize air curtains at the front and air breathers behind the front wheels to manage airflow around the vehicle's body. These features help reduce turbulence in the wheel arches and along the sides of the car, contributing to improved aerodynamics. Active Suspension: While not directly related to aerodynamics, an active suspension system could adjust ride height and stiffness dynamically, optimizing the vehicle's aerodynamic profile based on driving conditions. Lowering the vehicle at higher speeds would reduce drag, while raising it for rough terrain or city driving could improve ground clearance and comfort. Smooth Body Surfaces: BMW may design the exterior of the M Hybrid V8 with smooth, flowing lines and contours to minimize air resistance and drag coefficient. Attention to detail in shaping the bodywork and minimizing gaps between panels would further enhance aerodynamic efficiency. Overall, BMW would likely employ a combination of active and passive aerodynamic features to optimize the performance, efficiency, and stability of a hypothetical BMW M Hybrid V8. These aerodynamic enhancements would not only improve the vehicle's on-road dynamics but also contribute to its overall efficiency and sustainability.

MG is set to unveil its groundbreaking electric hypercar, the EXE181, at the 2024 Auto China show. This cutting-edge concept car, inspired by 'Vision Gran Turismo' vehicles, features a sleek teardrop shape and quad electric motors enabling a swift 0 to 62 mph acceleration in just 1.9 seconds The EXE181's impressive aerodynamics are highlighted by a drag coefficient of just 0.181, echoing the design of historic prototypes like the 1954 Fiat Turbina. Though its top speed is yet to be revealed, MG aims to surpass 250 mph, setting new benchmarks in the industry.

Vor 90 Jahren, am 6. April 1934, bietet die Ford Motor Company die Option auf weiße Seitenwandreifen für ihre Neuwagen zum Preis von 11,25 US-Dollar pro Satz an. Für das Jahr 1934 bot Ford 12 Karosserievarianten für seine 4- und 8-Zylinder-Reihe an, darunter einfache Coupés, Roadster, zweitürige Limousinen, Cabriolets, Cabrio-Limousinen und viertürige Limousinen. Die 8-Zylinder-Fahrzeuge von Ford kosten 510 bis 660 US-Dollar. Wem das etwas zu fett war, der konnte mit der 4-Zylinder-Version für 50 Dollar weniger davonfahren. Was die Weißwandschwellen betrifft, so waren die ersten Autoreifen gebrochen weiß, die Farbe der damals verwendeten Gummiformel. Als Zinkoxid hinzugefügt wurde, um die Wärmeleitfähigkeit und Zugfestigkeit zu verbessern, entstand als Nebenprodukt eine hellere weiße Farbe. Im Jahr 1910 fügte B.F. Goodrich seiner Formel „Carbon Black“ hinzu, um seine Gummireifen zu verstärken. Andere Unternehmen folgten diesem Beispiel, nutzten den Ruß jedoch nur aus Kostengründen auf der Laufflächenoberfläche. Das resultierende Produkt? Weißwandreifen. Hersteller von Luxusfahrzeugen, wie die von 1901 bis 1938 in Buffalo, New York, ansässige Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company, stellten bereits früher Weißwandfahrzeuge zur Verfügung, doch für Fords wurde diese Option genau an diesem Tag vor 90 Jahren verfügbar. Der Anfang vom Ende der Weißwandreifen begann, als in den 1950er Jahren die Reifenhöhen kleiner wurden und die Hersteller damit begannen, den Weißwandstreifen immer kleiner zu machen. Bis 1962 waren vollschwarze Radialreifen so ziemlich der Standard, obwohl Weißwandreifen bei einigen Oldtimermodellen bis zum Ende der 1970er Jahre eine Option blieben. Sie sind immer noch erhältlich, aber Weißwandreifen haben bei den Verbrauchern an Beliebtheit verloren, weil sie leicht abnutzen, gelb werden und einfach nicht so langlebig sind. Sie sehen aber auf jeden Fall cool aus.
