BMW plans to bring to market a new flagship car that itself defines as its "innovation driver". Will not come soon, we talk of 2021, and will be called iNExTstudio, at least according to a statement by the president of the German company Harald Krüger at the annual meeting of the company.
The details are quite sketchy, but it appears that the new car will feature an epitome of all the latest technology: autonomous driving, digital connectivity, completely renovated interiors and ultra-light design, and finally, next-generation electric propulsion.
Earlier this year BMW had shared some information about iNExTstudio, a car that should go to represent the flagship of the automaker of Monaco and made a series of technologies that should gradually find a place in the rest of the cars in the range BMW. The company now appears to have decided to bring this idea into reality, setting a deadline within the next five years.
Meanwhile, by 2012 the company plans to expand the range of hybrid and electric vehicles in the series "i" with the marketing of a BMW i8 model with greater travel autonomy (at present can be up to about 600km) and, in 2018, a roadster version. The company has sold over 50,000 vehicles in the series since its launch in 2013.
Last March Krüger showed the concept car BMW 100 Next, trying to imagine how it could be a BMW in 2116, ie 100 years from now. The next iNExTstudio will not be so futuristic, but it is not impossible that some project idea and design could be used in the coming five years.
