BMW lit a firecracker at the Shanghai auto show
BMW lit a firecracker at the Shanghai auto show last week, unveiling a design study called the Concept CS that not only signaled an evolution of the company’s designs, it suggested a possible future sedan that would be bigger and more expensive than any existing model. The designers were asked to capture a feeling summoned by a scene in a James Bond film. “You know the moment when Caterina Murino, the actress in ‘Casino Royale’ gets into the Aston Martin?” Mr. Bangle said. “She does that with such assured fluidity. That is what we were shooting for.”
