The BMW i Vision Dee is a future EV sports sedan that can talk back to you

Everyone always has something to say about BMW. 

The Bavarian automaker has long had a knack for setting the benchmarks with cars like the 3 Series and X5, but when the vehicles change with the times, BMW’s superfans don’t hold their tongues. 

“The old cars were better.”

“That new grille is just too much.”

“I’ll never pay for subscription features in a car.” 

Now, at CES 2023, a new BMW concept asks: what if the car had something to say as well? And if a car could talk, how would it interact with its user?

This is the BMW i

“Martinsville, that will be the struggle point, for sure,” Stevens said. “If we can go run solid top five and get stage points, threaten for a win in the first two, I think we can be enough of a factor to squeak through this round.”

“Squeaking” is an especially apt descriptor given that only 12 points separate the third-seed through eighth-seed drivers.

We Talk To Ex-Koenigsegg Head Designer Sasha Selipanov About EVs, Annoying Design Trends And More


Countless individuals over the last hundred years or so have in one way or another tried their hand at automotive design. They’ve sketched something on a napkin maybe and then forgotten it forever.

Of these droves, very few have been designers by trade. Fewer still have had the skill and circumstances that allow them to have a hand in hypercars that one day become real moving and driving pieces of automotive royalty. One of those very very few is Sasha Selipanov.
