BMW Is Testing Its New Concept Electric Car. The Model Is Equipped With Electric Motors on All Four Wheels, Making It the World’s First Electric Sports Car.

After 50 years of developing the M division, aimed at high-performance vehicles, BMW has launched its first electric sports car featuring 4 electric motors. Based on the BMW i4 M50, the sporty concept car with four motors offers all-wheel drive and an innovative steering control system. According to the German automaker, the setup provides an unprecedented level of performance and experience for the electric vehicle sector.

The test electric car features a modified body, with wider wheel arches and a visual concept reminiscent of the current BMW M3 and M4 series.

The four electric motors comprise the M xDrive four-motor system that allows each wheel to be powered by an electric motor, which, according to BMW, provides the driver with precise and rapid torque distribution.

Electric Car With 4 Motors Delivers High Speed in Turns

The correct power transmission for the road, for instance, is identified by the vehicle’s central control unit in milliseconds based on the accelerator pedal position, steering angle, wheel speeds, and other data. The signals are sent via the clutch and differentials to the four electric motors, which can activate them immediately, according to BMW.

Continuing with the brand’s typical characteristics, in tests with the concept electric car, the company’s drivers claim to have achieved significantly high cornering speeds, despite the roads being drenched with water or covered in snow.

Regenerative Brakes Due to High Performance

In cases of such road conditions, the vehicle can turn effortlessly and without a tendency to understeer, a phenomenon commonly referred to as “losing the front,” as the traction torque for the wheels is increased parallel to the steering angle.

The high performance of the electric motors will aid in energy recovery during braking. By braking before a turn, for example, the four electric motors can take on the role of a generator, feeding the car’s battery.

For now, BMW has not yet released official specifications or a launch schedule for its electric sports cars equipped with its new drivetrain and motorization.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

For the first time in history, solar and wind energy generated more electricity than natural gas worldwide in a single month, April 2026, a milestone in the energy transition that shows renewable sources taking the lead in the global electric system.

Brazil is sitting on one of the largest lithium reserves in the world, in the Jequitinhonha Valley, but national mining has almost become an appendage of China: 97% of the metal’s export goes to a single country, which also dominates refining.

Petrobras is expected to complete the drilling of the Morpho well in the Foz do Amazonas in August 2026, the first well in the Equatorial Margin, an oil frontier that the ANP estimates at more than 30 billion barrels and could redraw the map of Brazil.

The Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world, is drying up due to climate change and no one can stop the loss: evaporation could lower the level by up to 21 meters this century and turn ports in Kazakhstan, such as Aktau, into desert.

The YouTuber Mark McCann bought a Bugatti Veyron for almost $1.2 million, but discovered that the supercar’s gearbox is so damaged that even Bugatti itself won’t accept to repair it, and the repair could cost a fortune.

Thinking about buying a used HB20? See why the 2015 model is still a crowd favorite, with cheap parts, easy-to-fix mechanics, a strong engine, and quick sales.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.
