A look at BMW's Vision EfficientDynamics

Character:
• High-performance concept study with BMW ActiveHybrid technology visualising the dynamic performance typical of a BMW against the backdrop of future demands in sustained mobility. BMW Vision EfficientDynamics as a symbol for the future of Sheer Driving Pleasure in harmony with trendsetting efficiency.
• Development aim: The performance of a BMW M Car and a highly emotional character combined with the fuel economy and emission management of a modern small car in the premium class. As a result, this unique sports car offers the most consistent rendition of the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy.
• Innovative approach in the context of BMW EfficientDynamics: The exceedingly good balance of CO2 emission management and driving pleasure results from a revolutionary vehicle concept developed all in one from the ground up, achieving a new level of efficiency combined with a unique driving experience. The overall result goes far beyond the sum total of the individual features and components in this concept car.
• BMW Vision EfficientDynamics offers a realistic impression of the unique potential of BMW ActiveHybrid technology and the great innovative thrust of BMW EfficientDynamics.

Technology:
• Offering a full-hybrid concept, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car is powered by a three-cylinder turbodiesel and two electric motors. Overall system output is 262 kW/356 hp, maximum torque 800 Newton-metres/590 lb-ft. All-wheel drive featuring an electric motor on both the front and rear axle.
• Anticipated performance: Acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, top speed 250 km/h (155 mph) (electronically limited) , fuel consumption in the EU test cycle 3.76 litres/100 km (equal to 75.1 mph imp), CO2 emissions 99 grams/kilometre.
• As a plug-in hybrid, BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is able to cover the entire fuel consumption drive cycle under electric power alone. Taking the sources of energy used for generating the electric power consumed into account (EU electricity mix), this reduces the CO2 emission rating to just 50 grams per kilometre.
• Electric power is generated without the slightest increase in fuel consumption through a particularly efficient concept of Brake Energy Regeneration. Energy is stored in 98 lithium polymer cells. The car is able to cover a distance of approximately 50 km/31 miles in the electric mode alone.
• Aerodynamics developed with know-how from Formula 1. CX drag coefficient optimised to just 0.22. Forward-looking energy management uses the maximum potential available in each case to minimise fuel consumption.

Design:
• Technology-oriented body design as a clear expression of consistent lightweight technology and aerodynamic quality. Design language typical of the brand, setting clear signals in terms of sporting performance and optimum efficiency.
• The 2+2-seater concept combines dynamic performance and supreme efficiency with an enhanced level of all-round function. BMW Vision EfficientDynamics symbolises BMWs commitment to offer an unprecedented driving experience for up to four occupants.
• BMW Vision EfficientDynamics comes with gullwing doors opening up to the side. Innovative, weight-optimised door kinematics makes entering the car at both front and rear convenient and very easy.
• The interior of this unique 2+2-seater intentionally demonstrates the very latest in modern technology. At the same time the use of natural materials underlines BMWs strategy of sustainability borne out through this concept car.
• The roof and door inserts made of polycarbonate glass automatically become darker as a function of incoming light.

I SAW IT ON A COMMERCIAL AND MISSION IMPOSSIBLE...stupid caps lock.

[MrWhileloops]

Not worth all the electrical problems and maintenance fees.

that dutch accent is so awful :s

Things i see not happening/bad with this:

-Front grill will not be lit, definitely. It's illegal to have illuminated blue lights on road. Also almost guaranteed end product will not look nearly as good, if at all.

-Performance is sub-par to other already more efficient vehicles like Tesla Model S

-How will anyone get road-head safely in this car with transparent glass doors?!

-Front headlights look like rear lights of a Camaro.

OOOOMG!!!

My family laughed when I told them I was going to get stronger with Mega Muscle Method, but then they saw the results. Google Mega Muscle Method to see their reaction. (It was epic!)

It looks cool and all...but those clear doors, kinda stupid, other people will see me scratching my balls or moving my underwear to sit comfortably so the it get stuck between my ass cheeks! no privacy at all!

[erick padilla]

this car already exist I saw it in manhattan new york also it goes to london and another parr of the world also the got one like a m ini cooper with 4 door pretty awesome for me im not laying its the true it looks very futuristic

[Darren G-dub]

I thought Blue lights were illegal?

Don't think i'll miss the box shape look of a muscle car, or miss filling up at the tank every other day. They had their time and its gone an passed. Wish car companies would leave it alone an stop trying to bring muscle cars back. Instead work on making cars that do 50 miles to the gallon non hybrid,in city. Then the future will look alot better.
