Jeg har lagt inn bildet på diskusjonssidene til BMW CCN (http://www.bmwccn.no/nor/kapittel3/fora/), det er noe høyere trafikk der (no offence "gr" ), så kanskje det kommer et svar.

Thorleif Nilsen (jr) - en meget oppegående deltager på BMW CCNs diskusjonsforum har funnet ut at dette er en designstudie. Videre har han funnet en tekst om hva designeren selv, Jeff Hammoud, sier om studien som kalles "BMW Scar":

I wanted a car that went from being a vehicle of transportation to a trendy fashion accessory, a vehicle for the urban youth who is on the cutting edge of technology and design and is seeking the latest and greatest product.

Inspiration for my BMW concept was the different types of trendy eyewear that have a wild, futuristic ´look at me´ design. Examining the technology of eyewear frames, which hide the metal behind the lens, I incorporated the use of hydro-form steel for the structure and main body frame. The architectural lightweight steel frames support the large transparent door openings allowing the graphical design elements of the glass to be both stylish and functional. The glass can be removed allowing the vehicle to be driven as an open-air vehicle.

The use of laser welding for certain parts decreases the weight of the vehicle and adds structure only to the necessary components. Minimizing the weight of the vehicle makes it more malleable to incorporating alternative fuel sources such as hydrogen fuel cells. Having modular and removable steel body panels means ease of replacement and the opportunity to recycle parts.

Håper dette hjalp på nattesøvnen!

Faktisk penere bakfra enn foran! Og bakenden minner jo også mye om Z4...
