BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept
BMW says its eye-catching Vision EfficientDynamics concept visualizes "the dynamic performance typical of a BMW against the backdrop of future demands in sustained mobility."
The concept with gullwing doors is for a plug-in diesel-electric sports car.
Powered by a 1.5-liter, three-cylinder turbodiesel engine and two electric motors, the concept can run for about 50km (31 miles) in the electric mode. Energy is stored in 98 lithium polymer cells, which take 2.5 hours to fully charge.
It has all wheel drive with an electric motor at both the front and rear axles.
