BMW brought its most impressive development prototype yet to the Shanghai Auto Show, the BMW Vision Driving Experience prototype, and then drove it straight up a giant quarter-pipe just to show that it could.

The prototype four-motor car generates more than 13,000 lb-ft of torque (at the wheels),

Thanks to active aerodynamics, the "driving machine" develops a downforce of 2,645 pounds, specifically, the fans that suck the Vision Driving Experience to the ground, and lateral forces of up to 3g - a dimension on a par with Formula 1 and far beyond the requirements of conventional vehicles in road traffic.

 The logic behind this: If the hardware and software can tame the brute forces of this test rig, they can easily cope with the demands of everyday use.

In the new functional architecture of the Neue Klasse, the Heart of Joy is the central computer responsible for driving, braking, recharging through recuperation and some steering functions. With fast information processing and direct control of the electric motors, the Heart of Joy not only achieves a new level of agility and driving stability with fewer system interventions, but also enables 98 per cent of braking operations to be carried out using brake energy regeneration. This represents a 25% increase in efficiency compared to today's architectures. The vehicle can also be brought to a standstill more smoothly than ever before.
