Undoubtedly, the star of this news is the most unique version of the BMW XM ever seen. This special edition marks a collaboration between BMW and supermodel Naomi Campbell to create a one-of-a-kind vehicle.

The exclusive BMW XM version, named "XM Mystique Allure," features a striking purple color, chosen as it is Naomi Campbell's favorite. The vehicle’s design details were shared by BMW's designer Domagoj Dukec on Instagram. This unique model will make its public debut at the Cannes Film Festival this week.

What makes this version particularly unique is its exterior, covered extensively in actual velvet fabric. This design choice is not just limited to the exterior; the interior also boasts generous use of soft fabric. The hope is that it doesn't rain during the event on the French Riviera. This isn’t the first time BMW has experimented with fabric on a car body; in 2008, the Gina Light Visionary Model featured a durable fabric over a metal frame.

In addition to the velvet, the purple hue extends to the front grille, which is also wrapped in shiny, embroidered fabric, adding to the car's standout appearance.

Mechanical Specifications of the BMW XM:

• Standard XM: Equipped with a plug-in hybrid system combining a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing 483 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque, paired with an electric motor generating 194 horsepower and 281 Nm of torque. Combined, they produce 644 horsepower (653 European PS) and 800 Nm of torque. The powertrain is linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

• XM Label Red: Utilizes the same hybrid system but is tuned to produce 738 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque.

Performance-wise, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h, which can be increased to 270 km/h with the optional M Driver's package.

This unique collaboration between BMW and Naomi Campbell, highlighted by the luxurious use of velvet and custom design elements, truly sets the XM Mystique Allure apart as a standout in the automotive world.
