“This is the most powerful prototype in the brand’s history.”,
,
,
, “At the ‘World Premiere’ event held today (21st) at ‘BMW Experience Shanghai’ in Shanghai, China, Sean Green, President and CEO of BMW Group China, expressed confidence in their technological prowess.”,
,
, “BMW Group, preparing for the launch of their first all-electric vehicle at the end of this year, unveiled the test vehicle ‘BMW Vision Driving Experience’ featuring the vehicle’s capabilities for the first time at this event. It will be showcased to the public for the first time at ‘Auto Shanghai 2025’, which opens on the 23rd.”,
,
, “The test vehicle developed based on the ‘BMW Vision Neue Klasse’ features the ‘Heart of Joy’, a high-speed control system. This system integrates with the BMW Dynamic Performance Control software stack to centrally calculate and control all driving dynamics functions, including driving, braking, regenerative braking, and some steering.”,
,
, “Vice President Jochen Goller emphasized, ‘The BMW Vision Driving Experience delivers a maximum torque of 18,000 Nm (1,835.5 kg·m), offering true driving pleasure with performance comparable to an F1 race car.'”,
,
, “Subsequently, a driver’s trial run emphasizing various performances followed. As it removed the canopy and came out with a special coating, the BMW Vision Driving Experience exhibited its capabilities with high-speed cornering and lane changes while glowing green. It then climbed a long slope of up to 55 degrees straight up, stopped briefly, and reversed down securely.”,
,
, “Jens Klingmann, a BMW M Motorsport professional driver, commented after the drive, ‘The moment I pressed the accelerator, the power exploded,’ adding, ‘As a race car driver, my heart races every time I drive. I’m glad to have successfully demonstrated the grip of BMW’s unique driving system and the dynamic stability and handling limits of BMW’s next-generation model tonight.'”,

,
, “BMW explained that this test vehicle was prepared to harness the physical performance of ‘Heart of Joy’. Through active aerodynamics, it generates up to 1.2 tons of downforce and a lateral force of up to 3g, numbers comparable to an F1 race car and much higher than the levels typically required for road vehicles. BMW explains that the rationale behind developing such a high-performance test vehicle is the logic that if hardware and software can control extreme physical forces, they can easily handle everyday driving environments.”,
,
, “Additionally, it performs about 98% of total braking through regenerative braking, increasing efficiency by 25% compared to previous models, allowing for smooth stops.”,
,
, “Though it is a test vehicle, the exterior aligns with the BMW Vision Neue Klasse. BMW stated, ‘The solidly constructed monoblock body, robust wheel arches, concavely shaped sides (Greenhouse), and the shark nose-shaped front express the distinctive purist aesthetics of the Neue Klasse.’ They added, ‘The iconic BMW design elements of the kidney grille and twin headlights are reinterpreted to create a distinctive, intense three-dimensional illumination at the front.'”,
,
, “CEO Sean Green stated, ‘BMW Group not only manufactures cars but also creates emotional experiences. The next-generation driving extreme concept car with a driving supercomputer will redefine the joy of smart driving with unprecedented top performance.'”,
,
, “BMW plans to start production of the ‘Vision Neue Klasse’ at the Debrecen plant in Hungary by the end of this year, with the Heart of Joy system being a standard feature on all models.”,
