The BMW M Concept Neue Klasse celebrated its world premiere at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a newly developed Monza Red metallic paint finish alongside red-and-blue coded centre-lock wheels.
Showcasing the new BMW M design language, this sees numerous M-specific design measures optimising aerodynamics, including the reinterpreted M aero exterior mirrors in the colours of BMW M. A distinctive air outlet shaping the V-shaped front bonnet helps support the cooling of the electric drivetrain.
A forward-facing shark nose and a light signature with depth effect characterise the front end. Headlights and kidney grille form a single unit. The new M Yellow Lights create a focused view of the road and the yellow light icons are set to become a new signature feature of future BMW M automobiles.
The front apron of the BMW M Concept Neue Klasse adopts a trimaran-style bumper and the three-dimensional Track Lights - a new lighting accent for future BMW M automobiles. These also shape the car's rear apron and a ducktail spoiler for improved aerodynamics.
Inside, four newly developed bucket seats provide secure support and integrate structural elements made from natural fibre materials. The seat upholstery features Bathurst Blue and Berry Red in a two-tone Merino leather finish. Red five-point belts emphasise the sporty character.
For the first time in a BMW M vehicle, high-quality black nubuck leather is used and can be found on the steering wheel, door panels, and roll bar. The floating dashboard is finished in black knit material and features M-specific hexagonal backlighting.
Powering the concept vehicle is the BMW M eDrive drive concept, which is based on the Neue Klasse's Gen6 technology and combines four electric motors with the central control software BMW M Dynamic Performance Control in the high-performance computer Heart of Joy. In addition, it features 800V technology and a battery with over 100kWh of energy content.
