BMW Vision EfficientDynamics prototype 2013【Video】
BMW has releases photos and details for its Vision Efficient Dynamics sports car concept. The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept was the star of the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and carried wide range of completely or virtually production-ready components. After debuting with an overwhelming positive response and a huge desire to put the car in production, BMW announced today that it will produce a fully road-ready technology showcase vehicle based on the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept.
The Vision EfficientDynamics is a 2+2 sport coupe which runs on BMWs ActiveHybrid technology. The low slung car, at just 1.24 m tall, is designed for maximum aerodynamic flow and has a drag coefficient of just 0.22. Its a 2-door but BMW promises easy access to the rear passenger seats.
The powered by a 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo diesel engine mated to a hybrid synchronous motor at the front axle and a full-hybrid engine at the rear axle enables an overall system output 328-hp. 0-60 mph comes in just 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. Fuel-economy is estimated at 63 mpg and the concept can provide 31 miles of zero-emissions driving.
The sleek car can do this while burning just 3.76 litters of fuel per 100 kilometers (a Toyota Prius-beating 62.5 miles per gallon U.S.) and emitting 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The production VED will also be a plug-in, with the ability to go 50 km (31 miles) on lithium-polymer battery power.
What is more interesting about this car is that is also conceived as a plug-in hybrid, using the lithium-polymer rechargeable battery housed centrally in a longitudinal chassis element. According to Bmw, the car can act as a pure electric vehicle for 50 kilometers or 31 miles, while with some help from the 24-litre diesel tank it will deliver a total range of up to 700 km or 435 miles.

Press Release
A vision becomes reality: BMW announces serial production of sports car with plug-in hybrid technology.
Munich/Leipzig. It was the star of the Frankfurt international motor show IAA in 2009: a four-seater sports car with charismatic design, fascinating performance figures and unsurpassed efficiency, powered by BMW ActiveHybrid technology and presented under the title BMW Vision EfficientDynamics. With its wide range of completely or virtually production-ready components, this concept study met with an overwhelming response. There was a widespread desire to put the car on the road, and the realisation of this desire is moving considerably closer. At the Leipzig trade fair centre BMW is presenting a fully road-ready technology showcase vehicle based on the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept study. This presentation will give media representatives their first ever opportunity to find out what it is like to drive the 2+2-seater car powered by an innovative hybrid system.
The concept study BMW Vision EfficientDynamics represents the future of driving pleasure. Since its world premiere at the IAA 2009 it has received several awards both for its futuristic design and its ground-breaking engine technology. Just 1.24 metres high, the 2+2-seater takes up the characteristic BMW shaping style, geared consistently towards aesthetic appeal and dynamic performance. Wing doors facilitate entry to both rows of seats, while extensive aerodynamic measures reduce the drag coefficient to 0.22. The combination of a 3-cylinder turbo diesel with a hybrid synchronous motor at the front axle and a full-hybrid engine at the rear axle enables an overall system output of 241 kW/328 bhp. The innovative design of the BMW ActiveHybrid technology allows performance figures at the level of a sports car, with just 4.8 seconds required for the sprint from zero to 100 km/h - with an average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle (KV01) of 3.76 litters/100 kilometers, equal to 75.1 mpg imp, and a CO2 emission rating of 99 grams per kilometer (1,3 l/100km and 33g CO2/km; EU-PHEV ECE-R101).
This unique relation between dynamic performance and efficiency derives from the high level of efficiency of all engine components as well as intelligent linking of the power output of the three engines, as well as precisely controlled energy management including brake energy regeneration. What is more, the study BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is conceived as a so-called plug-in hybrid. The lithium-polymer rechargeable battery housed centrally in a longitudinal chassis element and designed specially for this hybrid sports car can be fully charged at a conventional power socket within just two and half hours. The use of electrical energy alone permits zero-emissions motoring with a range of some 50 kilometres, while a 24-litre diesel tank extends the total action radius of the vehicle to up to 700 kilometres.
By developing a sports car based on the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept study for serial production, the Munich-based premium automobile manufacturer underscores its position as a global leader in the production of sporty vehicles with exemplary efficiency. All current models are fitted as standard with extensive measures for the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The innovations used for this purpose are based on the development strategy BMW EfficientDynamics, which also includes BMW ActiveHybrid technology as well as purely electrical drive systems. With the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 and the BMW ActiveHybrid X6, two serial production vehicles have already been launched in which a BMW-specific combination of combustion and electric drive results in an especially efficient increase in the driving dynamics so characteristic of the brand.
The BMW Group is also undertaking extensive field tests in regular traffic, which after the MINI E will soon include the BMW ActiveE, so as to prepare for serial production of a purely electrically powered model which is to be produced at the BMW plant in Leipzig from 2013 as the Megacity Vehicle.
At the same time, the current technology showcase vehicle being presented to mark the expansion of the BMW Leipzig plant not only demonstrates the consistent further development of BMW ActiveHybrid as a drive concept. It also highlights the expertise of the BMW Group in the integrated development of vehicle concepts which are geared towards the principles of BMW EfficientDynamics in every detail. Like the Megacity Vehicle, the sports car based on the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics study is an example of how future-oriented mobility opens up fascinating perspectives in combination with the driving pleasure characteristic of BMW.

2011 Geneva Auto Show – BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept
BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept - BMW ConnectedDrive Vision occupies a reference position of this BMW is still just real car Geneva. In general "layers" of the two-door roadster, evokes the look of EfficientDynamics concept from 2009, while its asymmetric design offers memories of 2001 X Coupe Concept. As the former general advance in truth, a savage, the production of vehicles and the following usually led to a particular period cuff model, the individual ConnectedDrive Vision also provides an overview of BMW to come.
But a little more to go to a single plan sheet smooth or perhaps a plastic "high" in the effective elements of the real car that uses BMW ConnectedDrive vision different layers of matter. Typical structures partially broken reveals specific technological innovation hidden. below, and also what you see changes especially in conjunction with each position. Doors, inspired only by Z1 special slip into the typical body together, and so the car could possibly real could be used with doors typical nested.
The true story areas are enhanced with fiber optic lighting effects that usually brings out the different functions and also part of the vehicle. Annual windshield acts as a real three-dimensional display medium to high head, and the result is simply more shows in particular, ensure the back of a real steering wheel. Significantly, normally a level that displays the information in question is really manoeuvreing baptized in particular the "security level" and beyond, this is surely just fed a lot of smart devices.
In addition, a larger area, which also include real people is certainly special called "layer infotainment" and therefore comes with movies, music, and also access to the Internet worldwide. " . Comfort layer "Typically the third layer is really special trip together and then fall below the special buddy-buddy-term BMW ConnectedDrive functions Car Vision car and the car in the communication infrastructure, and we hope that this excludes real cry car COP outs. But under stratification typical BMW ConnectedDrive Vision show relatively normal. roadster is truly a standard really, a long hood, the front wheels pushed far special edges, and also an end in anger at the future, which has cut nearly BMW preview current company.
BMW is simply presenting a series of completely new technology, in Geneva. These links with the phone light, Amex-Centurion, such as concierge service, and as a result of automatic self-parking. It also very "emotional browser" only that it certainly can be, for example, to download music from a playlist, in particular, also has a cafeteria that you are driving, or even provide information on architecture, particularly the surrounding buildings. In the very concept of ConnectedDrive, equipment, and especially the headlights and tail to constantly monitor the car is real
environment, and therefore really a perceived danger is not really emphasized, but also increased along with suggestions for implementation of avoidance measures.
BMW, simply through individuals, it says nothing about the propulsion system is usually ConnectedDrive. Could this perhaps BMW line-six years the atmosphere, usually roadsters available to common corporate unit? Somehow I doubt it. As in many honest, this concept with specific monitoring and also the second-guessing his manoeuvreing, were not really sure if the special report, "In general, the engineers at BMW Group is constantly working to activate this specific reality for vehicle production series, "perhaps it should be classified as one or perhaps a threat. Could you make the purchase of BMW ConnectedDrive Vision?
