For 35 years, BMW has been providing vehicles for film and TV projects and its back in Hollywood as the main automotive partner in the upcoming film, Mission:Impossible – Ghost Protocol, which is set to release in December 2011.
Tom Cruise will return as Ethan Hunt and the all-new redesigned 6 Series convertible and the Vision EfficientDynamics concept get cameos as well.
The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car has been recognized as having the most sophisticated technology and the most striking design among the current concept electric supercars. The i8, inspired by the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept will enter series production in a few years.
"We are thrilled to be involved again in another Hollywood Blockbuster,” said Ian Robertson, BMW AG Board Member for Sales and Marketing. “The BMW Group leads the way in developing future mobility with a focus on sustainability. One great example is the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car which will be presented in the film. 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. Also with BMW ConnectedDrive technology, it is the perfect car for Ethan Hunt to outsmart his pursuers through narrow streets and busy city traffic.”
“We are extremely appreciative of the incredible support BMW provided to our filmmakers and production teams as they traveled the world making the movie”, commented LeeAnne Stables, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Partnerships at Paramount Pictures.
