BMW’s new Neue Klasse model is set to begin production later this year, ushering in a new generation of cars from the German manufacturer. Enthusiasts are eager for details such as horsepower and 0-60 times. The latest BMW electric prototype, the Vision Driving Experience, serves as a high-performance testbed showcasing the manufacturer’s desire to maximize computing power with the “Heart of Joy” central computer. This internally developed “superbrain” integrates control for drivetrain, braking, energy recovery, charging, and steering into a unit that processes information 10 times faster than previous systems. This advancement will enable drivers to take corners with “remarkable precision” requiring “less control input.” Drivers will be able to maintain the vehicle’s line with “greater precision and stability” while having consistent and smooth handling, which to us, sounds very much like removing the fun of driving and cleaning it up digitally. The extra processing power of this new computer will allow BMW to create more efficient electric cars. The company claims that this computer enables vehicles to use energy sustainably, including during energy recovery. BMW states that the regenerative braking system in the Vision Driving Experience prototype increases efficiency by up to 25 percent. Drivers will not require conventional brakes in most normal driving situations. BMW has no intention of turning the prototype into a production vehicle. It is a test rig for the Neue Klasse platform to push the limits of what is possible. The car has 13,269 pound-feet of torque, according to BMW, intended to test whether its control system can handle such instant power. If successful, this car could hit the streets and become part of the upcoming Neue Klasse lineup, though we doubt the striking and light-capable wheels will be produced in the near future.
