BMW creates 'a Martian pod on wheels'

Desk Report: BMW’s new concept should be music to the eyes and ears of anyone who has been stuck behind a caravan on a B road.

The trend in motoring forever bigger cars has been accompanied by an ability to pull larger loads, and as such, caravans have become even bigger fibreglass behemoths.

Now though, BMW’s Designworks team have collaborated with American outdoor enthusiasts The North Face to redesign the traditional home on wheels.

Unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the ‘Futurelight’ Camper is made from a lightweight fabric stretched over a tubular frame, creating a caravan that would look more at home with Matt Damon on Mars than in the Somerset countryside.
