SHANGHAI: BMW presented the #BMW Vision Driving Experience high-performance test vehicle at Auto Shanghai 2025.
Test drivers Jens Klingmann and Elias Houndtonji, the main attraction of the BMW Brand Night, demonstrated the potential of the car with spectacular driving manoeuvres.
BMW presented the show's vision vehicle in a special luminescent paint.
The paint's special light-sensitive pigments recharge in daylight, with even the smallest amount of ambient light sufficient.
In the dark, the colour varies from a whitish yellow to an expressive neon yellow, depending on the state of charge.
In addition, the rear of the car has been fitted with a "magic film" which, when stimulated by UV light, creates an expressive gradient from yellow to orange to pink from the rear to the front of the car.
With the BMW Vision Driving Experience test vehicle, BMW pushed the boundaries of familiar driving dynamics.
With a torque of up to 18,000Nm, the "fastest test rig in the world" is the ultimate endurance test for the Heart of Joy and BMW Dynamic Performance Control developed entirely by BMW.
Inside, the lightning-fast #Heart of Joy control computer, which works in conjunction with the BMW Dynamic Performance Control software stack to centrally calculate all driving dynamics functions, is visible in the centre console - unlike later in series production.
The first all-electric Neue Klasse vehicles will roll off the production line at the Debrecen plant in Hungary from the end of the year.
The Heart of Joy central computer, which ensures a new level of precision and driving dynamics, will be fitted as standard in every Neue Klasse vehicle.
