BMW X9 Concept
BMW has seen some rather odd looking cars roll off the production line over the past 10 years, but Khalfi Oussama's new X9 off-roader concept coupe takes oddball Beemers to a whole new level.The 18-year-old designer hasn't offered any information about his concept that could be a proposal for a new Batmobile, but since he hails from the sandy desert landscape of Tunisia in northern Africa, it's fair to say that this is the equivalent of a modern day dune buggy.
The X9 Concept blends the sporty bodylines of a coupe with the rolling stock of an off-roader - much like BMW's chunky yet sporty-looking X6 soft-roader.

The X9's massive wheels and excessively wide (not to mention oddly patterned) tyres combined with its colour-matched side-steps and heavy-duty crash plates front and rear definitely showcase the car's intentions.
Confusing the off-road look, though, is the car's bulging fins, which are a tad reminiscent of Cadillacs of the 1950s - except that the X9's fins stick out, rather than up.
The X9 coupe also carries a new interpretation of BMW's signature kidney grille, although Oussama's version is considerably smaller than the current flock of BMWs. T
he grille sits alongside a set of unique twin-headlights, as well as a pair of tiny foglights that are set into the bumper.
