BMW has unveiled the M Concept Neue Klasse ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It showcases the new BMW M design language and gives us a glimpse of the next-generation M3.
The M Concept looks sharp and sporty and has the familiar Neue Klasse face that has been further enhanced with M-specific design elements. It features wide wheel arches, M-specific mirrors and distinctive air outlets on the bonnet.
The slim kidney grille and headlights form a single unit. The yellow lights are a nod to BMW’s GT racing cars. BMW says that the trimaran-style front bumper was inspired by high-speed sailing boats. It also gets three-dimensional Track Lights located in the outer sections of the front apron.
The rear apron also has a trimaran design with Track lights. There’s a floating diffuser and a ducktail spoiler for extra downforce.
Inside, you find new design bucket seats wrapped in two-tone upholstery, a new M steering wheel with paddle shifters and a central touchscreen.
According to BMW, the M Concept Neue Klasse is powered by the BMW M eDrive drivetrain, featuring four electric motors. It is based on an 800V electric architecture. The high-voltage battery has been structurally integrated with both front and rear axles and has a capacity of over 100 kWh.
