BMW ActiveHybrid 7
BMW seems to be taking a break from their hydrogen dreams and is now coming out with a more marketable option, a hybrid. The ActiveHybrid 7 ($TBA) will go up against the Mercedes S400 Hybrid and Lexus LS600h. The electric motor and twin turbo V8 produce a combined 459bhp and 516 lb ft. All that power is channeled through an 8 speed automatic that will launch it to 60 in 4.9 seconds. While sprinting to 60 the eco-saloon will burn an average of 29.1 mpg. The eight-speed auto and lithium ion battery make the ActiveHybrid 7 the first automatic with stop-start and battery back up so that air conditioners can be used even when the engine is off. To top off the eco-concious look there is special aero dynamic wheels and Bluewater paint.
