BMW concept stars in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol

BMW's EfficientDynamics concept car will star alongside Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol, the next installment in the series of hit Hollywood blockbusters.

Chosen for its embodiment of the latest technologies – not to mention its avantgarde aesthetic – the BMW EfficientDynamics was first displayed at the 2009 Frankfurt motor show.

"With its futuristic design and large glass surfaces, the car offers a fascinating perspective on the future of sheer driving pleasure - in combination with maximum efficiency," said Ian Robertson, BMW AG Board Member for Sales and Marketing. "Also with BMW ConnectedDrive technology, it is the perfect car for Ethan Hunt to outsmart his pursuers through narrow streets and busy city traffic."

Of course it's not the first time a concept car has featured on the silver screen – the Bertone Stratos Zero famously morphed into Michael Jackson in his 1988 movie, Moonwalker, while more recently Audi produced the RSQ – which previewed the R8 – in i-Robot.

Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol is due for release in December. BMW has set up a dedicated website, www.bmw.com/mission, with further information.
