BMW Vision

BMW sees technical innovations reducing both emissions and fuel consumption as an elementary part of the brand’s product strategy, just like vehicle concepts enhancing the Sheer Driving Pleasure so typical of BMW as a lasting, sustained experience.

Now the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car clearly demonstrates that these objectives expressed through the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy are fully compatible with the most demanding reduction in fuel consumption and emissions complying in full with future requirements.

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.

With projected acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, a top speed 250km/h (electronically limited), fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 3.76 litres/100km, and CO2 emissions at only 99 grams/kilometre, this car is nothing short of miraculous for the performance segment.

This outstanding result is made possible by the consistent integration of BMW ActiveHybrid components, their combination with an extremely economical combustion engine, and the outstanding aerodynamic qualities of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car.

In its design, BMW Vision EfficientDynamics for the first time conveys the dynamic look so typical of a BMW sports car to a hybrid vehicle. Developed with know-how from Formula 1, the body of this unique sports car is an expression of intelligent lightweight technology and supreme aerodynamic efficiency. And in the design of the interior, the focus was likewise on both the fascinating driving experience and, in particular, on transparent, hands-on technology and maximum reduction of weight.

The future qualities and the typical character of BMW ActiveHybrid technology come out particularly clearly and strikingly in BMW Vision EfficientDynamics. In conjunction with the most sophisticated energy management, the intelligent combination of the electric motor and the combustion engine ensures outstandingly good fuel economy and emission management combined with a significant improvement of driving dynamics.

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is therefore a particularly innovative rendition of hybrid technology BMW-style and at the same time offers a fascinating outlook into the future of BMW EfficientDynamics as an overall philosophy and a significant contribution to future-proof mobility.

We hope that this vehicle moves from concept to reality just as quickly as it moves off the mark. I wonder if they are willing to take bookings for test drives now?
