BMW Vision M Next concept doesn't let the robots take over completely
BMW's idea of the future involves autonomy, but it still lets people take command and have fun.
Say hello to the Vision M Next concept.
It looks like the love child of BMW's other Next concepts, with a little bit of i8 sprinkled on top and mixed thoroughly with a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.
The inclusion of matte-orange elements front and rear is interesting, especially as that color works its way into the design of the rear wheel.

It combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with electric motors for a net output of 600 horsepower and a top speed of 186 miles per hour, reaching 60 mph in about 3 seconds.
It can operate on electricity alone for about 62 miles, but if you want to burn extra battery for the sake of having fun, there's a Boost+ mode that delivers all the power the system can muster.
Facial recognition unlocks the vehicle as the driver approaching, and a touch sensor allows the door to open.
As the vehicle speeds up, driving information moves closer to the driver's eye to minimize looks away from the road.
The BMW concept debuts in Germany this week.
