Hybrid redefines concepts on performance, emissions

The concept car comes with the widest range of BMW EfficientDynamics technologies ever seen, extending from the combustion engine with its ultimate efficiency through to intelligent energy management and BMW ActiveHybrid technology with innovative electric storage technology, lightweight engineering and consistently optimized aerodynamics.

Conceived as a 2+2-seater with plug-in full-hybrid technology, this unique vehicle is able to combine the performance of a BMW M car with a standard of fuel economy and emission management exceeding even levels achieved by the latest small cars on the market.

The drive units combine a particularly fuel-efficient three-cylinder turbodiesel with an electric motor on the front and rear axles, which together provide a top speed limited electronically of 250 km/h.
