Overview
- BMW unveiled the M Concept Neue Klasse at the 24 Hours of Le Mans to present a close preview of its forthcoming electric M3 and introduce a new M design language.
- The concept confirms a quad‑motor layout, an 800‑volt electrical architecture, and a battery of more than 100 kWh built from M‑specific sixth‑generation cylindrical cells.
- Power and braking for each wheel are managed by BMW’s Heart of Joy high‑performance computer running BMW M Dynamic Performance Control for software‑based torque vectoring.
- The study highlights motorsport cues — new M Yellow Lights, three‑dimensional Track Lights, wide arches and a ducktail — plus natural‑fibre components and a driver‑focused four‑bucket interior.
- BMW has not disclosed final output or production details but multiple outlets place a production electric M3 around 2027 and say combustion/hybrid M3 variants will continue to be developed alongside the EV.
