Hans Zimmer will be designing the sound for BMW’s futuristic concept car

For motorheads, the silence of electric vehicles can seem deafening, especially when compared to traditional cars. But now, BMW’s future electric vehicles, more specifically, the Vision M Next concept sports car will have a unique soundtrack, courtesy of award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer. Zimmer has worked on iconic sci-fi films including Interstellar, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Blade Runner 2049, and Inception. Zimmer will be working with BMW sound designer Renzo Vitale to make the “drive sounds” and “sound signs” for the Vision M Next, which will debut this week at BMW’s NextGen event.

Zimmer’s work will also be part of “BMW IconicSounds Electric,” which is a sound offering for future electric cars. The hope is it’ll help drivers feel less “alienated” from their vehicles. As Quartz points out, BMW has been working on the sounds for electric cars for around a decade now. But this collaboration means the German automaker wants to create more distinctive sounds for its EVs.
