BMW Unveils New Concept Vehicles

Dec. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Motor Werks BMW (http://www.motorwerksbmwbarrington.com/bmw-dealers-barrington.htm) has earned a reputation among Chicago drivers as one of the leading dealerships to visit when looking for luxury automobiles. Carrying both the entire lineup of new BMW models as well as a diverse range of pre-owned options, few dealers can compete. It is as a premier BMW dealer that Motor Werks is proud to announce that the automaker has unveiled a new set of concept cars.

Concept cars are somewhat like the well-wrapped presents underneath a Christmas tree to auto enthusiasts. There is the promise of something exciting eventually, and although drivers know that what they see now is no guarantee of what's to come, it's still quite exciting.

Indeed, concept vehicles hand free reign over to the designers and engineers, and all it takes is a glimpse of the BMW Vision ConnectDrive to see that. Looking like it rolled off the set of Tron, sporting a futuristic build and an interior accented by blue LED lighting, the design is meant to symbolize the bond between vehicle and driver.

Its convertible body stlye is also to be representative of the connection drivers have with the environment as they sit behind the wheel.

Another well-known concept car from the automaker is the BMW 328 Hommage, which was built to commemorate the BMW 328 racecar, bringing a modern set of aesthetics to the classic automobile for its 75th anniversary. With materials made from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and leather and aluminum interior, the Hommage is able to bring across the character of one of the first roadsters.

While these two vehicles are mostly for turning heads at auto shows, BMW has four concept cars nearing production:

• Concept 4 Series Coupe

• Concept Active Tourer

•  Zagato Coupe

• Zagato Roadster

Each of these vehicles, being much closer to a reality, actually represent those that drivers could see on the streets of Chicago within the next year or two.
