BMW brings out the VISION NEXT 100 concept car

Concept cars are usually tend towards to the extreme when it comes to design and technology. By not assigning limits, whether in terms of regulations or production technology, it allows designers to go as far as they so desire. It gives them a blank canvas to see how certain ideas would work in practice- without the worry of having to make it completely production ready. The VISION NEXT 100 is no different, incorporating various ideas with BMW's core design philosophy. 

Apart from that, there are a number of design cues that are similar to models of the past. The skin that fits over the car seems to flex with movement of the wheels, similar to how the BMW Gina concept worked with it's flexible skin. Up front is an exaggerated kidney grill, similar to the 328 Hommage. It's a slick looking car, but highly unlikely to ever make it to the factory floor. But for now, the technologies on display can be an inspiration for developments to come.
