BMW has been a leader in luxury and performance cars for decades, but it is also making strides in the electric vehicle market. The German automaker recently unveiled its latest EV model, the BMW i7 M70 xDrive, at the Cannes Film Festival, where it showcased its Hollywood action and a sustainable maritime experience.
The BMW i7 M70 xDrive is a plug-in hybrid sedan that combines a powerful electric motor with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The result is a stunning 750 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful EVs on the market. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h.
But the BMW i7 M70 xDrive is not just about speed and performance. It is also designed to be eco-friendly and efficient, with a range of up to 600 km on a single charge. The car can be charged at home or at public charging stations, and it also has a regenerative braking system that recovers energy during deceleration.
The BMW i7 M70 xDrive also boasts a sleek and futuristic design, with a large kidney grille that houses sensors and cameras for driver assistance systems, LED headlights and taillights that create a distinctive light signature, and aerodynamic features that optimize airflow and reduce drag. The car has a spacious and luxurious interior, with leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The car also offers a range of advanced features that enhance safety, comfort, and convenience for the driver and passengers. Some of these features include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, blind spot detection, parking assist, head-up display, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system.
The BMW i7 M70 xDrive is not only a car but also an experience. BMW invited celebrities and influencers to Cannes to test drive the car and enjoy its exclusive events. The guests were treated to a thrilling stunt show featuring the car in action scenes inspired by Hollywood movies such as Mission: Impossible and Fast & Furious. They also got to experience a sustainable maritime adventure on board the BMW i Hydrogen NEXT yacht, which uses hydrogen fuel cells to power its electric propulsion system.
The BMW i7 M70 xDrive is expected to hit the market in late 2023, with a starting price of around €150,000. The car is part of BMW’s ambitious plan to electrify its entire portfolio by 2030, with at least 50% of its global sales coming from EVs by then. The car is also a testament to BMW’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, as it aims to reduce its carbon footprint and offer its customers the ultimate electric driving machine.
