The German manufacturer has recently lifted a corner of the veil covering its next generation of electric vehicles called Neue Klasse. Employing a mule in camouflage, engineers are testing new on -board systems intended to instill driving pleasure in these new creations.
Without presenting it in this way, the BMW Vision Driving Experience can give us a visual taste of the next 3 series, both in petrol and electrical livery. But in this case, it is the electric shutter that interests us, with the integration of a new control module called “Heart of Joy” (heart of joy). It combines control of engines, braking, regenerative system and management to accelerate data processing 10 times faster than the previous system. It works hand in hand with the Dynamic Performance Control software to increase the potential and the homogeneity of the braking recharge both for autonomy and road behavior.

The BMW Vision Driving Experience is not intended for production, but allows you to glimpse what the next BMW 3 Series could look like.
BMW estimates that efficiency is increased by 25 % by the simple use of this new system. This also allows you to ensure greater stability, while reducing the corrections to be made by the driver in dynamic driving.
This mule also includes five fans who literally aspire the car to the ground. According to the review Coachwhich was able to slip into the passenger seat of this vehicle, they increase the aerodynamic support by 1000 kg to test the limits of the new control module. There is no production plan for such an expensive paraphernalia that would undoubtedly risk that in winter use. A very intriguing glance on how to design the electric vehicles of tomorrow.
