A new vision of out automotive future. BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics. A vehicle that previews tomorrow's driving pleasure using todays technology, blends ground-breaking efficiency with trademark BMW performance and shows just how captivating sustainable motoring can be.




As more auto companies aim to develop the perfect hybrid car, BMW has announced their full-hybrid concept, the Vision EfficientDynamics Hybrid Concept Car. The 4-seater concept combines both performance and efficiency with some unique and interesting characteristics. It is powered by a three cylinder turbo diesel with two electric motors, and has final output numbers of 356 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque. Featuring all wheel drive, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics has an electric motor on the front and rear axles. The performance numbers for the hybrid concept car are 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h that is electronically limited. Fuel consumption is great at only 3.76 liters/100 km, and CO2 emissions are 99 grams/km. BMW didn’t forget their “Ultimate Driving Experience” motto, so the concept car is focused on establishing just that.

Using lightweight materials, BMW designed the vehicle with gull wing doors that open to the side. Unique polycarbonate glass inserts cover the roof and door, which become darker as more light enters the car. BMW aims to achieve the performance similar to the BMW M-Series, with the fuel economy and emission management as good as the best hybrids in its class.
