Named 'The World’s Most Sustainable Car Company' by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the seventh consecutive year, BMW's Vision EfficientDynamics concept car takes its Efficient Dynamics strategy to the next level, dubbed the ActiveHybrid technology.
Conceived as a 2+2-seater with plug-in full-hybrid technology, this unique car is able to combine the performance of a BMW M Car with a standard of fuel economy and emission management exceeding even the current level achieved by the latest small cars in the market. And this ‘Vision’ will turn into ‘Reality’, as the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car will be developed and will inspire the production of BMW i8 version under the sub-brand BMW i, which is scheduled for the launch later in 2013.
Measuring 4.60 metres in length, 1.90 metres in width and 1.24 metres in height and boasting a sweeping, arch-like roofline, the power delivered by the three power units gives the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car a level of dynamic performance far superior to anything provided so far by any competitors. The drive units provide a top speed limited electronically of 250 km/h, with acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car demonstrates the potential of the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy to an extent never seen before. BMW has once again showed the company’s unprecedented skill and competence in developing particularly efficient high-performance drivetrain technologies.
Applying this philosophy, BMW is able to develop vehicles meeting the need for saving natural resources and at the same time offering a new rendition of Sheer Driving Pleasure. A sports car with the dynamic performance of a BMW M Car and the fuel economy of a modern small car indeed opens up highly attractive perspectives for individual mobility in the world of tomorrow.
