The BMW iNEXT sweats in the Kalahari Desert
The BMW iNEXT will arrive on the market in 2021, so it is in the middle of the development process and the brand is testing it in the hot Kalahari desert.
Almost like a ninja or, better yet, like a huge golf cart sneaking into the circuit, the first of the BMW iNext in testing phase that one of our most precious spotters has immortalized itself circulating on the Nürburging Circuit.
The test unit with white bodywork, dressed in an intense camouflage livery, has rolled through more than 20 kilometers of track in order to collect information and sensations from the drivers' on-track work.
An activity that has shown that this SUV, as with others, regardless of the nature of its mechanics, They are very clumsy vehicles despite having net performance worthy of supercars.
With high dimensions and a greater draft weight, despite having a low center of gravity Due to the location of its batteries, it can be seen how, at certain times, the BMW iNext in the test phase has difficulties in holding the line and, even, in getting all the wheels to make contact with the asphalt despite not being the spectacular gradient that, especially in the race, has provided such spectacular photographs.
The second, with a black body, appears in full exit from the acceleration lane and subsequently the sequences between both are mixed. Electric SUVs along with other cars but which, as seen, pose obvious difficulties in the current state of development of the BMW iNext for being able to handle without fear such a complex and demanding route like this one.
Be that as it may, in the video collected by State Side Supercars, 4 minutes of footage appear in which 2 units of the BMW iNext share the spotlight with other BMW models in the development phase, showing dynamism in both cases with obvious difficulties in adapting to the sinuosity of the mythical Green Hell.
