Driving technology demonstrations appeared in BMW Camouged BMW (VDX) and threatened. I had to embarrassing psychological distortion to enter and pressure the carbon fiber bucket seats. BMW officials helped me nullify the four -point points before the German car driver Jens Klingmann Ev launched. Two other journalists were directed by the garage and on the BMW performance path near the South South Carolina production facility.
Follow this was a glimpse of the next generation of BMW, EVS software knowledge. VDX is a trading test for the Neue Klasse group from BMW, which is scheduled to reach the first to the United States later this year.

The test device produces a torque platform 13,269 pounds of torque, generates 1,200 kilograms of additional lower power and can produce 3GS of side force.
Let’s stop there: No, this is not a typo. BMW actually claims north of 13,000 pounds of torque for this pits, which will be just less than 10 times what you get in Lucid’s sapphire. I find it difficult to believe it too. But BMW insists that it is accurate. BMW may multiply the actual torque of electric motors with the rate of discount gear, as the GMC did with Hummer EV’s torque demands equally.
We do not know yet. BMW INSIDEVS will not tell how it comes to this account, or even the number of engines that this car enjoys (being a four -kinetic EV can make something like this possible), but it may reveal more line.
What I can tell you is that it was, undoubtedly, the most extreme and most amazing cars.
But it was not exactly silent. The engines that are free like turbo fans for the home plane, and the highest sound I have ever heard from EV. Although this torque is unparalleled, it was not what caused my admiration. It was accurate riding and dealing with traction management that almost almost physically felt physics.
The first angle was a long -left -wing bank where VDX remained cultivated. Klingmann has one hand while filling the other with the tablets of the drive on the central screen. Keep in mind that this was happening with Speedo about 100 miles per hour-one of the best high-speed tasks left to professional contestants. The car remained attached to the surface, and it was absorbed on the road with incredible levels of the lower power. Michelin’s regular sports pilot tires were working. As we approached a quick group of left, the VDX cut it accurately with the edge of the knife, completely free of the body roll.
VDX is not heading for production, but its basic technology. At the core of its dynamic skill, there is a system of driving management in the new generation, which is called “the heart of joy”. Despite the name, this alleged heart is similar to the brain, and it controls smoothly in the different functions of the car related to trade. It is located within the IPAD unit, and the data processes ten times faster than the current electronic control units (ECU).

It is the approach of the first program that reminds us of Tesla and Rivian and a growing number of auto manufacturers who look to simplify and unify their cars. Rivian, for example, reduced a number of electronic control units in R1 models of the second generation from 17 to seven of high -power models.
BMW strategy follows a similar approach. Joy will be one of four central computing units on Neue Klasse EVS functions that deal with basic vehicle functions. The other three will manage automatic driving, entertainment and auxiliary systems such as climate and lighting. The heart of joy will be responsible for functions such as acceleration, argument, traction and charging. All of these functions will communicate with each other with no significant delay. In BMW speech, “Cumin in the domain of millimeters again”.
It claims that a new vertical software approach helps him reach new heights in traction and efficiency.
One of the many benefits in the real world includes something called “variable recovery”, which is the ability to adjust brake brakes on each axis. While approaching the corner, for example, Regen can be biased back for better efficiency. There. T, which sudden tremors or tremors from the stagnation that emit from mechanical braking.

On the global level, BMW faces the anger of fierce competition from Chinese brands in Europe and China, although the latter is its largest market depending on the volume of sales. However, her works EV was a bright point, especially in North America. I recorded a new record in EV sales in the United States in 2024, although most of the current EVS that were reshaped on ICE platforms. Neue Klasse cars are designed on dedicated Bev platforms with a high focus on software.
If BMW translates some of the Wizardry from VDX into a production lineup, it may have a profitable formula on its hands. Perhaps you will not have to worry about one of the most popular brands in the world that embraces electrification at the expense of performance.
