Earlier this year BMW revealed the ultra-futuristic Vision Next 100 concept, and now subsidiary Rolls-Royce has had a crack at predicting what’s to come. It’s also called the Vision Next 100 - revealed today alongside the Mini Vision Next 100 - and it looks completely nuts.

There’s that weird pinched, depressed face, a swooping roofline and weird pod things which hold the wheels - it really is a feast for the eyes, and we’re not sure whether or not that’s a good thing.

Being a look at what’s about to come in the world of motoring, it is of course powered by an electric drivetrain (Rolls hasn’t revealed any details for exactly what kind of electric powertrain we’re looking at), and inevitably it’s also autonomous.

Naturally, since it’s autonomous, there’s no steering wheel or driver’s seat. Instead, there’s what Rolls-Royce describes as the “Grand Sanctuary”, where “our passengers step in unbowed, with consummate grace and dignity.” Quite.

The company also describes the space as having a “futuristic but handcrafted lounge atmosphere,” which is probably why a bloody great sofa has been dumped in the cabin. With no seat belts.

I don’t buy it, the shape of current saloon cars are quite inefficient in terms of metal and space usage. Cars won’t be shaped like that in the future
