BMW has released another teaser today of its Vision EfficientDynamics concept car that will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, giving us another angle on the unconventional taillights but little else to go on.
From the two angles, all we can tell so far is that the blue piece on top that stands off from the body appears to be a spoiler that not only wraps around the rear of the car but also reaches up around the rear window at least as far as the roof. While it's interrupted by the fin-like taillights, the line continues on the rear fenders, which have been pulled up to a point and are quite fin-like themselves. Has BMW suddenly decided to go retro and try to bring back fins? We're going to assume that, based on the idea behind BMW's EfficientDynamics program, these radical body lines are more for aerodynamic efficiency than classic-Cadillac nostalgia.
About the only other thing we can see so far are fairly large wheels wrapped in tiny low-profile tires. Based on the one wheel spoke we can see, it appears as though they'll be a five-spoke design similar to those BMW has used in the past, but no doubt with a modern twist. We can also say definitively that these are not the wheels on the red BMW concept we spied recently, meaning BMW has either switched wheels and changed the paint or was telling the truth when they said that the red car was an old concept and not the Vision EfficientDynamics car. It seems more likely, at this point, that it was the latter.
