When the eighteen year old Khalfi
Oussama from Tunisia decided to undertake the project of designing the
new BMW X9, he aimed for designing a car that could be used as the
‘batmobile’. It was meant as a vehicle for the superhero Batman in his
movies to replace one that is currently featured in the mobiles. This
was the concept of the BMW X9.
Now that the design of the car has been
unveiled, even though the actual technical information hasn’t been
released yet, Oussama’s design of the BMW X9 has received mix reviews.
Some simply hated the design and used terms like ‘ugly’, ‘unsightly’,
‘oddball’, etc. to describe it, while others were simply bowled over by
its uniqueness. However, Oussama took all the reviews and opinions
sportingly, by thanking the ones who had appreciated his design and
respecting the ones who didn’t.
The BMW X9 Concept is no ordinary
looking car and is sure to turn heads when one sees it cruising down a
road. Available in two colors: black and violet-blue, this car
definitely has some fancy-looking parts, be it its wheels, headlights or
exhaust pipes. The black model comes with red/orange accents here and
there while the blue ones come with yellow accents. However, one thing
that is common between both the designs is that both of them feature a
good amount of shiny steel, in the wheels, the windows, the grille and
in the rear portion of the car.
While there is no denying the fact that
the car looks chunky because it certainly isn’t sleek and compact, it is
surprisingly sporty-looking. The wheels of the car are a bit on the
larger end of the spectrum as far as the size is concerned. The
heavy-duty steel plates in the front of the car send out the
don’t-mess-with-me signal. BMW X9 Concept’s foglights are located in the
bumper of the car.
A first glance at this car and you will
get the idea that it is almost a futuristic-looking spaceship that can
ply on the roads. Thus, the BMW X9 Concept definitely scores a lot of
brownie points in the styling-for-superheroes and creativity aspects.
