The future of BMW’s electric vehicles is slowly coming into focus. We saw the Vision Neue Klasse in 2023, which sparked considerable excitement. This anticipation grew with introducing the Vision Neue Klasse X SUV in early 2024, but these reveals are just the beginning.
The model that truly captures our imagination is the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe. Spy shots of this upcoming model have unveiled a surprising array of possibilities, though detailed information remains scant. Consequently, the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe, which once seemed a distant dream, is now a compelling reality. With this in mind, let’s explore everything we know so far about this exciting new model.

Vision Neue Klasse Coupe: A Successor to the M1 and i8?
What kind of vehicle is the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe? Some are convinced this new model is the supercar behind the BMW brand’s legendary M1. Others are confident that it will be the i8’s successor EV model. Of course, this is still all just speculation. This is because the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe, seen only in silhouette, is enough to succeed both the M1 and the i8.
One thing is sure: the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe will likely have an I badge. Recently, BMW applied for a mysterious trademark called iM3. There is no certainty yet that this model is the iM3, but the possibility exists. And, even if it is not the iM3, the I badge seems quite promising according to BMW’s recent actions in reorganizing its lineup.

Pay Attention to the Side Mirrors
A Sign of a Production Model
Although the captured Vision Neue Klasse Coupe is covered in camouflage, we can assume that it is similar in many ways to the previously revealed Vision Neue Klasse. The part that needs attention is the side mirror. The captured Vision Neue Klasse Coupe features a perfect mass-produced design rather than the side mirrors seen in concept cars and renderings. This hints that the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe in the spy shot is a mass-produced model.
The spy shot is sufficient to confirm the overall outline of the vehicle. The soaring rear fascia clearly emphasizes the vision the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe pursued. It can be expected that thick B-pillars similar to the i8, hidden-type door handles, and side character lines that highlight the shade will be applied.

Four Individual Motors Are Likely
Expect Powerful Performance
What’s behind the wheels of the captured Vision Neue Klasse Coupe? According to the industry, the model will be equipped with individual electric motors behind each wheel. There is no word on combined horsepower figures, but some sources say BMW’s 800V architecture will definitely be applied.
The model is expected to demonstrate very strong power performance in this case. The current estimated combined horsepower is up to 1,341 horsepower. Of course, this is the maximum output value of the device certified by BMW, and it is assumed that the deviation will not be slight. Nevertheless, most predict that the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe can easily exceed 1,000 combined horsepower. If this happens, it is consistent with the earlier speculation that it is a model that succeeds the M1.
There isn’t much information about the Vision Neue Klasse Coupe yet. What surprising facts will this model deliver to us in the future? We will end this post by saying that We will update the post as additional information becomes available.
