BMW N8

Creating this sports car for my own pleasure, I have decided to play with semiotics. Headlights seen from the front, are divided with horizontal and vertical line forming the BMW logo. The nostrils, characteristic with all BMW models, are kept.

I have decided to simplify contour lines and this way I have lost a breaking line between the hood and the windshield, and therefore gained on better aerodynamic look of the car. All lines and proportions are drawn according to golden ratio.

BMW did introduce the more fluid lines in 2010 with its Concept Vision Efficient Dynamics or BMW i8, having more aggressive look. Anyway, I prefer calmer and cleaner futuristic form I presented with this design, back in 2002. Back then I called it “BMW N3″ I forgot about it and uploaded it on some other websites as N8.
