BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics (2009) teaser video

It shows the back of the sports car with F1-inspired winglets and other body addendum, plus external rear lights.

The Macan is smaller than the Cayenne – 146mm shorter and 16mm narrower – but it is bigger than the Audi Q5 on which it’s based (70mm longer and 24mm wider – lower too by 30mm).
