BMW Vision Driving Experience

Leave a comment

At the Shanghai Motor Show, BMW launched its new concept car, the Vision Driving Experience. This all-electric car will be the basis for future Neue Klasse cars.

The Vision Driving Experience is powered by four electric motors with a total output of up to 1,700 hp and 18,000 Nm of torque. This is unmatched by other models in the BMW fleet. The car is equipped with the Heart of Joy system that is 10 times faster than the previous control unit. This system increases the precision and stability of the car in turns, and combines driving control, brakes, regeneration, charging and steering, for more efficient energy use.

The car is painted in a special color that collects energy during the day and shines at night in shades from white-yellow to neon yellow, depending on the charge level. The lower part is covered with a “magic foil”, which when exposed to UV radiation creates a gradient from yellow to orange and pink, visually extending from the back to the front.

The equipment includes active aerodynamics for downforce of up to 1.2 tons and lateral acceleration of up to 3 G, which is close to that of Formula 1 cars. This extreme potential is used as a platform for testing control systems. Also, BMW claims that the advanced regenerative braking system improves efficiency by 25 percent, and in most situations mechanical brakes may not be needed at all.

Renault 5 Turbo 3E will cost 155,000 euros

Leave a comment

In late 2024, Renault announced the return of the sporty hatchback but as an all-electric, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E. It is inspired by the Renault 5 Turbo/Turbo 2 models that were produced in the 80s. Only 1,980 cars will be produced and the first 500 units will cost 155,000 euros.

It is built on an extremely stiff carbon monocoque chassis with a retro design. Although it weighs 1,450 kg, the company is confident that it will be able to shed a few kilograms by the start of production. It is equipped with boxy wheel arches, pronounced bumpers and sills, modified LED headlights compared to the standard R5, a sleeker glass section and better aerodynamics, and large rims with ultra-wide tires.

The R5 Turbo 3E is powered by two electric motors with a total output of 536 hp (400 kW). It is Renault’s most powerful production car, and it reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 270 km/h. It uses an 800V platform that allows a maximum charging speed of 350 kW. The lithium-ion 70 kWh battery can be charged from 15 to 80 percent capacity in just 15 minutes, and with a single charge it allows a range of 400 km.

Since the factory price of 155,000 euros is reserved only for the first 500 buyers, it is obvious that Renault urgently needs funds to start producing the car. From next year, buyers will be contacted by selected dealers and will then be able to customize their cars. They will also have the opportunity to meet with Renault designers to create a unique exterior and interior look if they wish.
