This striking roadster is the quirkily titled BMW Vision ConnectedDrive concept car.
The emphasis is on high-tech here, with the car seen as 'a fully integrated part of the networked world in both its design and technological innovations.'
The interior has been divided into three layers - comfort, infotainment and safety - each with a corresponding light installation. Each layer is defined by a colour.
The first layer of red light wraps around the driver to represent the flow of safety-specific information and the driver's focus on the road ahead.
The second layer encompasses the safety layer and extends to the passenger cell, focusing on infotainment.
And a final layer is defined by green light and concentrates on the interaction of the vehicle with the world around it.
External sensors monitor the traffic and immediate vicinity, feeding information directly to the driver allowing him to take appropriate action.
The roadster has sliding doors, inspired by those on the BMW Z1, which disappear into the body of the car.
The Vision ConnectedDrive is crammed with the latest and most innovative technology that BMW can muster.
Advanced Head-Up Display presents key information in the direct sight line of the driver - in three-dimensional graphics, no less.
And passengers even get their own information display, out of the driver's field of vision, showing information, music or navigation details.
The BMW Vision ConnectedDrive concept car will be revealed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show on March 1st.
