BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is the most comprehensive implementation of the EfficientDynamics philosophy seen so far.
Overall system output is 356 horsepower, and peak torque is 590 lb-ft.
The special arrangement of the two motors and diesel engine allows all-wheel drive when driving in all-electric mode.
The result is minimum power loss and a harmonious transmission of the power available under all conditions.
Turbodiesel engine with unprecedented specific output.
The combustion engine is a cutting-edge turbodiesel featured for the first time in the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car.
Engine output is 163 hp with peak torque of 214 lb-ft.
The specific output of 109 hp per liter sets a new benchmark in diesel technology.
BMW Vision EfficientDynamics features a newly-developed version of BMWs DCT with six speeds for maximum efficiency and flexibility.
Two electric motors for full-hybrid drive.
The combustion engine is supplemented by two electric motors.
A second electric motor acts on the front axle.
The power is transmitted through a 2-stage, single-speed reduction gearbox.
The front unit is the lithium-polymer complex, an ongoing development of the lithium-ion battery.
With an unusually high discharge capacity of 80 percent, the battery delivers 8.6 kW/h for driving the car.
This superior performance comes on overall weight of the entire energy storage system of just 187 lb.
Plug-in solution: convenient charging of the electric power system from a conventional power socket.
Performance, fuel efficiency and emission management opening new dimensions in hybrid technology.
CO2 emissions, in turn, are 99 grams per kilometer.
Aerodynamic qualities reflecting BMWs Motorsport experience.
In its design, BMW Vision EfficientDynamics differs from the usual low-emission car concepts.
It provides a highly stabilizing effect.
Overall vehicle concept for a drag coefficient of just 0.22.
In combination with the sophisticated axle geometry, this ensures agile driving behavior.
Technological look as a strong impression of intelligent lightweight construction.
In both exterior and interior design, BMW Vision EfficientDynamics stands out clearly as a strong spearhead in technology.
Carrying a maximum payload of 981 lb, this unique 2+2-seater is fully suited for everyday traffic.
Emotional design through sculptural shapes and layering technology.
The front, side, rear and roof areas, for example, flow smoothly into one another.
Interior: innovative lightweight construction and unprecedented orientation to the driver.
Clearly, this combination alone ensures comfort at a minimum weight.
Overhead doors for convenient access to all seats.
Since the car has no B-pillars, the large door cutouts ensure convenient entry also to the rear seats.
Flowing to the inside at its central point, this safety element also serves as an armrest.
Clear focus on the essential: 3-dimensional Head-Up Display.
The Head-Up Display projects information important to the driver on to the windscreen.
Forward-looking energy management adjusting to individual requirements.
