From the spy photos released, the BMW M pure electric prototype still has the signature “double kidney” grille and a wider body compared to the BMW M3. The grille and bumper air inlets of the prototype are not closed, which can provide better heat dissipation for the vehicle’s battery pack and brake system.

Powering the prototype is a four-motor powertrain with an integrated new M xDrive 4WD control system, where each wheel is individually controlled by a central processor based on calculations. The car’s suspension system has also been modified to deliver higher torque stiffness.

Dirk Hacker, Head of Development at BMW M GmbH, said, “Electrification opens up new degrees of freedom for our M powertrains. We will make maximum use of this potential so that our sports car will continue to offer the classic M series performance, agility and handling on a zero-emission basis.”

BMW did not reveal the specific power of the prototype, but the BMW i4 M50’s twin motors can generate 536 hp and 795 Nm of torque, and it is believed that the combined power of the four-motor powertrain will be even more powerful.

BMW also mentioned that its goal is to preserve the “emotional driving experience” and provide users with “unprecedented levels of performance” in a future zero-emissions pure electric sports car.

Most of the Hybrid cars from the Lexus brand as we sighted above are SUVs or coupes, but in this article, we will focus on performance vehicles. The automobile maker took to its website to share some information and pictures of its concept performance electric cars. Asides from the all-electric sports car they shared on their website, the company also gave some concepts of their come all-electric saloon and SUV.

These vehicles are to be the first of their kind since Lexus does not have an all-electric car of any make to its name. All three concept vehicles are reminiscent of Lexus’ design language and do not stray from what we are used to seeing. The only obvious difference to note is the absence of a grill in all three concept images. This is because electric vehicles do not need a grill since they lack a combustion engine.

The company is going electric and has given us a glimpse of its future as a car manufacturer. We are already in expectation of the RZ 450e, which will be the company’s first-ever fully-electric vehicle. This vehicle will be available in the month of December with some refinement to its design while maintaining that Lexus’ unique touch.

All three concept vehicles from the company will become available at later dates. The company will communicate the launch date and availability of all three concept cars once available. In the meantime, we are glad to see yet another brand take a new and electric path in the automotive industry.
