Hans Zimmer authors the new BMW electric car sound

The composer is an ardent fan of Cyberpunk aesthetics which makes him an excellent fit for writing "music" for the new BMW engine.

Electric cars are virtually noiseless which causes numerous accidents involving them. So, the new European Union regulations stipulate that all engines (including electric ones) must make clear sounds to other road users. But what kind of sound should be chosen?

BMW, the renowned car manufacturer, is currently working on its new electric car BMW Vision M NEXT as well as a dozen other prototypes and concepts. The no less renowned composer Hans Zimmer will be writing «music» for these cars. The company has chosen him largely because he wrote the soundtrack for the film «Blade Runner 2049».

Jointly with BMW sound engineer Renzo Vitale, Mr. Zimmer has composed the future car’s sounds. Watch the video below right now to enjoy the piece created by these talented authors.
