BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept





















More and more care companies are finding ways to get the word fun, fast and fuel efficient in the same sentence; and those words all describe the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept. Two electric motors and a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel work together to produce 351bhp and 590lb ft of torque and still reach an estimated 75.1 mpg. This high mpg helps this concept car to get a 400 mile range on one tank using only the diesel engine or 435 miles on full electric mode and it only takes 2.5 hrs to recharge. Thanks to BMWs F1 experience this eco cruiser reaches 60 in under 5 seconds with the help of its 0.22 drag coefficent, low weight and high tech powertrain. The interior matches the exterior with countored front seats that attach to the center console and rear seats that do not appear to attach to the floor. Hopefully BMW will make this concept a reality so our dreams of sports car performance with prius beating fuel economy can finally come true.
