BMW X Sport: Bavarian Crossover
Source: auto-motor-und-sport / Text: Ilir Dibrani
Crossover-models are a trend, and trends are something that BMW wants to keep
up with.
In 2008 BMW wants to set a new trend with this eyecatching four-wheel-drive coupé
(AWD / xDrive): the X Sport will be the first sportscar with a high seating position.
BMW mixes coupé, off-roader and sportscar into a 4.8 meter long four door
crossover. The "all-road" coupé will be an easy sportscar to
get in.
The front will have simmilarities to the new 3 series coupé and the rear
will have an unusual "horizontally positioned" rear-window.

Infra-red technology incorporating a thermal imaging camera for extra safety in
the dark. Driver support and active partner protection in one.
BMW Night Vision provides a new dimension of optical perception when driving at
night. A thermal imaging camera detects human beings, animals and objects in front
of the car before they become visible to the human eye in the headlights. The
image generated by the system is transmitted to the central Control Display within
the car presenting objects detected with increasing brightness as a function of
the heat detected by the camera - and therefore making human beings and animals
particularly conspicuous. |
