The star of the 2011 Geneva Autoshow for BMW was without a doubt the Vision ConnectedDrive concept roadster. Here is a new video of the making of the concept, which gives a very nice behind the scenes look at how all the members of the team work together in a small and tight environment, this video is well worth the watch!

The roadster is a two seat concept designed to highlight BMWs advancements in ConnectedDrive technologies offered by BMW, which will increasingly power every vehicle in the BMW range. These are highly driver focused technologies intent on bringing the utmost connectivity to the driver. The design study itself is not intended for production, only to highlight the underlying technology. However, without a doubt, many of the styling trends seen on this concept mirror those of the Vision EfficientDynamics and elements of the design are sure to make it into future production BMW vehicles.

You can see all our photos/wallpapers of the Vision ConnectedDrive here, and also check out our live gallery from the Geneva show here.

And incase you missed this earlier, BMW has also put out this special video about the story behind the Vision ConnectedDrive which prominently features the designers and managers themselves such as Adrian Van Hooydonk, Marc Girard [Head of Interior Design], Juliane Blasi [Exterior Designer], Dr. Eckhard Steinmeier [Product Manager] and Dr. Dirk Wisselmann [Research Projects]
