Automotive companies
peering into their crystal
balls to create their
concept vehicles have
seen a world where
autonomous cars rule
the road. With the BMW
Vision M Next concept, the
German automaker bucks
that trend. The control
of this 600 hp plug-in
electric, which goes from
zero to 60 mph in about
three seconds, is firmly
in your hands instead of
a computer’s. And to give
the quiet electric vehicle
the visceral sound of
driving a supercar, BMW
has hired Oscar-winning
composer Hans Zimmer to
create the soundtrack that
accompanies the Vision
M’s acceleration.24 AUGUST 2019
