In a post on Instagram, BMW raises one of its largest disclosure of the year: the driving experience in BMW (VDX). This initial model, which is referred to by BMW as a “test platform”, will be revealed very soon. In fact, we had the opportunity to try it directly a few months ago, but we swore on secrecy.
Currently, all we can share is what is visible in humor. The front end is inspired by inspiration from the Neue Klasse Vision Concept Sedan, which includes the distinctive LED lighting of the BMW that forms the famous headlights and the kidney network. Unlike the large “nose” seen in the current models, VDX displays a more elegant and tidy design. In the shadows, the aggressive front bumper alludes to the first model race rates.
The back part of the same design continues. The rear lights, fully made of lamps, are divided into the middle, with the upper edge smoothly combined into a sporty stem cover. Although humor does not reveal the publisher, we expect that it will feature a dynamic design and directed towards performance.
Heart
At the heart of BMW VDX is the revolutionary “heart of joy”. This super computer represents a major milestone for BMW, integrating power generation programs and driving dynamics into one unified system. “There is nothing similar to the industry – even inside BMW,” said Frank Weber, a BMW board member at R&D. “What this means is that we have intensified contracts of heritage and engineering experiences in BMW in one super computing unit.” This advanced system is characterized by what Weber describes as four “super brains”, some of which are physically interconnected.
By integrating all functions into a staple of central programs, BMW dramatically reduced delay compared to traditional structures, as multiple electronic control units (ECUS) communicate through the bus system. In traditional settings, the delay can range from 10 to 20 milliliters, but with the “heart of joy”, cumin is reduced to less than 1 millimeter.
But how does this translate into real performance and driving dynamics? Stay tuned YouTube channel- We have an exciting video soon!
