The electrification revolution is now upon us, with German premium carmakers preparing to establish a dominant position in the battle for the ever-increasing market share of hybrids and all-electric vehicles. While Audi has started working on a dedicated EV platform together with Porsche and Mercedes-Benz has come up with the dedicated EQ sub-brand, we're still waiting to see how BMW's full electrification plans materialize.
The Bavarians have announced their intentions to develop a whole range of all-electric models, with the first phase of the said plan involving transition models such as the MINI Electric, which is set to land next year and a battery-powered BMW X3-sized proposal, which will be launched in 2020.

BMW aims to introduce a much broader range of EVs, with the transformation also set to reach Rolls-Royce. Nevertheless, the Spirit of Ecstasy brand is waiting for advances in battery technology, so it can offer the kind of driving range its customers expect.

Until we get to see the production results of the said electrification plan, we've brought along a rendering that envisions a potential all-electric BMW supercar.

The machine we have here could serve as a halo car, mixing electron juice sipping assets with the lightweight CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) experience the company has gained thanks to working on the i gas-electric projects.

The pixel play comes from Yasid Oozear, a digital artist whose work we've featured on multiple occasions.

"Working on a series of custom concepts today so I figured I’ll do some of my own ideas too [the artist often delivers mashups that change the way we see existing machines],"

Here's why you might be experiencing deja vu

This is the second time today when we get to talk about a BMW halo car dream. To be more precise, a tale we delivered earlier showed you a mid-engined proposal, envisioned as the next-generation M8.
