by BMW Ethos – A Hydrogen Fuel Cell Supercar Concept
BMW M could introduce a new supercar that revives the spirit of the legendary late-1970s M1. Although there are no official details yet, this idea has already inspired designers to create their own interpretations. One of them is an impressive digital concept by Sebastiano Ciarcià called Ethos.
The concept’s design combines elements of the Nazca C2, BMW i8, and the 2019 Vision M Next concept. The low profile, glass roof, and exposed rear wheels are reminiscent of classic Italian sports cars. The front end features an updated kidney grille with a small BMW logo, similar to models from the 1950s.
Technology and Design
The BMW Ethos features a hydrogen powertrain that delivers high performance without harmful emissions. The design includes LED headlights integrated into the air intakes and an active spoiler. The rear is adorned with an LED light bar and an aggressive diffuser.
The concept is presented in a champagne color against the backdrop of Lake Como in Italy – a location where BMW recently unveiled limited edition cars. Potential competitors for the Ethos include the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, Aston Martin Valhalla, and Ferrari F80.
Sebastiano Ciarcià, an Italian designer who has worked with Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Volvo, has previously presented other interesting concepts. His work demonstrates a blend of classic forms with innovative technology, making the Ethos one of the most promising visions for BMW’s future.
