The electrified wingsuit. Episode 1. | #NEXTGen 2020.

A jump into the unknown. The point of no return. Wingsuit pilot Peter Salzmann does what no other human has ever done before, and sets a new level for flying. After three years of intensive research and countless tests in partnership with BMW i, a dream is coming true at last. ► For more interesting stories visit #NEXTGen: https://www.bmw.com/en/NEXTGen.html Salzmann, wingsuit pilot and flying pioneer, is gliding above a blue sky, launching his electrified wingsuit into open air as the first human ever to do so — and breaking the boundaries of human flight forever. Not only does a sport get redefined in this special collaboration with BMW i, but you also get an insight into the new era of e-mobility. "When you’re base-jumping, the jump itself – the point of no return – is the most intense moment," Salzmann says. Words to live by – especially from the man who has made a whole career out of doing the impossible. "You have to jump at the exact right angle – and then freefall for several seconds before you begin gliding.” It’s an almost inconceivable challenge, physically and mentally. In the end, this is what it’s really all about if you want to rewrite history: overcoming what no one has overcome before — and finding the right path forward from your own points of no return. ► For more upcoming videos subscribe to the BMW YouTube Channel: http://b.mw/youtube-subscribe ► Explore More Videos: Enjoy every edge.

CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 0. The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model. The values of the vehicles are already based on the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure the comparison between the vehicles. [With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2-emissions the CO2 values may differ to the values stated here.] The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification. Further information on official fuel consumption figures and specific CO2 emission values of new passenger cars is included in the following guideline: 'Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer Personenkraftwagen' (Guide to the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which can be obtained free of charge from all dealerships, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
