BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept to Become Reality in 2013

Tweet

According to info gathered by the folks from InsideLine, a version of the slick BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept that has taken the automotive world by a storm when introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show, last September, is going to hit the production lines and should be on the road sometime in 2013.

The company’s first fuel efficiency and emission management vehicle, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept is a plug-in hybrid with a three cylinder turbodiesel engine working along with two electric motors, developing a total of 262 kW (356 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. The 2+2 coupe is capable to go naught to 62mph in a quick 4.8 seconds on its way to an electronically limited 155mph, consuming on average only 3.76 liters/100km (that’s some 62.6 mpg) and emitting 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Although there’s nothing official as to what the production vehicle is going to feature, we’re pretty sure it’s going to keep the hybrid powertrain, but “there will be less of the synthetic glass and more solid structure added to the final design.” Now the drawbacks, it looks like the “senior BMW authority” is limiting the new vehicle to only 10,000 units and probably an only-the-rich-can-afford-it price tag.

If only we could afford such looks!
