BMW planning 1 Series GT?

BMW planning 1 Series GT?

BMW planning 1 Series GT?

Filed under: Minivan/Van, Wagon, Crossover, Hatchback, BMW, Rumormill BMW is serious about its genre-bending multi-purpose vehicles. Proof of such can be seen in vehicles such as the X6 and 5 Series Gran Turismo, both of which were designed to offer something that fits in between a standard wagon and another carbon-copy crossover. It appears BMW may be thinking of downsizing the trend with a not-a-wagon, not-an-X1 version of its 1 Series that would slot in below the expected 3 Series GT. For those keeping track, such a strategy means that BMW could potentially offer its 1, 3 and 5 Series nameplates in sedan, wagon (or hatchback), crossover (X-series) and Gran Turismo styles, not to mention a range of coupes. And dont forget that BMW is also moving its Mini brand up in size a few notches, most recently with the Countryman. The 1 Series GT (which may or may not be pictured above, an image that reportedly came from an unknown UK magazine…) would almost surely be front-wheel drive, as the German automaker is known to be working on such an architecture for its smallest, entry-level models and it would offer the most efficient use of space. All-wheel drive could potentially be offered as an option, as the platform is expected to support such an arrangement. Yes, BMWs rumored lineup clearly leaves lots of room to offer something for just about any - and we do mean any - potential buyer.

BMW envisions a future of wearable transportation

Filed under: Concept Cars, Etc., BMW, Design/Style BMW Suits that Transport Concepts - Click above for image gallery BMW has teamed up with students of automotive design and fashion at the European Institute of Design in Barcelona to come up with some ideas on what the future of urban transportation may bring. And the results are… ahem, interesting. And by interesting, what we really mean is strange. Take, for instance, the Comme des Voitures, which features a pair of boots that feature soles clad with ball bearings and a helmet of sorts that beams relevant information to the \”rider.\” And then theres the City-Skiing concept that is exactly what it sounds like, except that the skis are tall and short, and the corresponding suit looks like it was originally meant for a moon landing. Slightly - and we do mean slightly - more rational is Flymag, which pairs a cape-like suit with a human-powered scooter that looks like a stroller. Combine the two and youve got a wee little automobile. We also have the Svala, again featuring a suit that controls a… wheeled thing thats supposedly electric. And then we get crazy again with the B-Motion, an insane hoverboard and backpack combo that makes absolutely zero sense to us. Anyway, do check them out in the image gallery below.
