And you thought the i3 somewhat curious is designed? This could, in fact, just once, BMW’s first car on hydrogen.

Where we’re looking at are probably patenttekeningen (besides, the rims are often grayed out, since the different designs to be registered), though I have this not through the European office can figure out. A Chinese website is through the use of a further, unnamed source on the trail come. Makes also doesn’t matter, it’s about what we see.

A, let me gently say, exceptionally designed car, apart from the well-known kidney little resemblance to other BMW products. The shape of the grille is similar to that of the i3 and i8 and also the rest of the design suggests that a low luchtweerstandscoëfficiënt was more important than aesthetics. Ergo, here we would just be looking at the following i-model, the i4 or i5 for example. For a elektromodel that there is not too practical look similar especially in terms of sales volume you have little space, so I put my money on a car with fuel cell. Further, I guess on the extensive use of Carbon Reinforced Plastics with corresponding low car weight, and a very low Cw-value.

Before the BMW fans immediately in the defense jumping: I know that there are earlier 7 Series with a fuel cell, but those cars were definitely not designed as a hydrogen car and were only on a small, experimental scale built. That BMW, like Toyota, salvation looks into hydrogen is not a secret. Had the brand been a custom i8, whereby the three-cylinder petrol engine was replaced by a fuel cell. They even work together with Toyota on the brandstofceltechniek, so maybe we will look to the German brother of the Mirai.
