Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger behind the wheel of Vision Concept


California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gets behind the wheel of BMW’s futuristic hybrid concept car – the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept – during his press conference highlighting green cars at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on December 1, 2009.

Peter Miles, Executive Vice President of Operations for BMW of North America, (center, front) showed Governor Schwarzenegger the finer points of the sports car, which can travel 431 miles before it needs to be charged and re-fueled.The “green show” of the year starts tomorrow with the press days and opens to the public on Friday, December 4th.

The BMW Vision Concept will also make its U.S. debut tomorrow and it is considered to be one of the stars at this year’s auto show. As always, we’re going to report live and offer you an impressive gallery of photos.
....and here's Arnold in front of the Honda FCX Clarity....

Official BMW Concept Car Presented Vision Efficient Dynamics 3 Liter Per 100 Km


Official BMW concept car presented Vision Efficient Dynamics. With a futuristic design, the car full-hybrid technology is only needed 3.76 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

Concept car BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics was officially presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. Although hybrid, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is able to be driven up to speed 250 km / hour. To accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour just 4.8 seconds.

However, due to the diembannya hybrid technology, fuel consumption on average by the standards of the EU, only 3.76 liters per 100 kilometers, with CO2 emissions of 99 grams per kilometer.

CO2 emissions are lower can be achieved when the car drove just by relying on electric power alone, especially after the battery charged. CO2 emissions on average as low as 50 grams can be achieved perkilometer.

Performance and fuel economy is exceptional at this car was created thanks to a combination of the three-cylinder turbodiesel engine with a hybrid motor that works in sync on the front axle, and a full-hybrid system in the rear axle.

The combination of all three engines working precision in regulating energy, then created a vibrant performance and optimum efficiency. With a variety of support systems such as power management, the BMW ActiveHybrid technology could work to suppress the maximum fuel consumption.

Overall, this machine can produce 356 df, with a maximum torque of 800 Nm. "BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics development strategy, proving that BMW managed to achieve the target fuel economy and emissions standards are more stringent that will be needed in the future." said Corporate Communications Director of PT BMW Indonesia Helena Abidin.

In addition to high technology, BMW is also designed with artistic flavor. Front, side, rear, and the roof, everything seemed to flow smoothly from one part to another, with the surface and creating dynamic forms of light and shadow accent is very attractive.

BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept

All I can say is....wow.

• High-performance concept study with BMW ActiveHybrid technology
visualising the dynamic performance typical of a BMW against the backdrop of future demands in sustained mobility. BMW Vision EfficientDynamics as a symbol for the future of Sheer Driving Pleasure in harmony with trendsetting efficiency.

• Development aim: The performance of a BMW M Car and a highly emotional character combined with the fuel economy and emission management of a modern small car in the premium class. As a result, this unique sports car offers the most consistent rendition of the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy.

• Innovative approach in the context of BMW EfficientDynamics: The exceedingly good balance of CO2 emission management and driving pleasure results from a revolutionary vehicle concept developed all in one from the ground up, achieving a new level of efficiency combined with a unique driving experience. The overall result goes far beyond the sum total of the individual features and components in this concept car.

• BMW Vision EfficientDynamics offers a realistic impression of the unique potential of BMW ActiveHybrid technology and the great innovative thrust of BMW EfficientDynamics.

Technology:
• Offering a full-hybrid concept, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car is powered by a three-cylinder turbodiesel and two electric motors. Overall system output is 262 kW/356 hp, maximum torque 800 Newton-metres/590 lb-ft. All-wheel drive featuring an electric motor on both the front and rear axle.

• Anticipated performance: Acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, top speed 250 km/h (155 mph) (electronically limited) , fuel consumption in the EU test cycle 3.76 litres/100 km (equal to 75.1 mph imp), CO2 emissions 99 grams/kilometre.

• As a plug-in hybrid, BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is able to cover the entire fuel consumption drive cycle under electric power alone. Taking the sources of energy used for generating the electric power consumed into account (EU electricity mix), this reduces the CO2 emission rating to just 50 grams per kilometre.

• Electric power is generated without the slightest increase in fuel consumption through a particularly efficient concept of Brake Energy Regeneration. Energy is stored in 98 lithium polymer cells. The car is able to cover a distance of approximately 50 km/31 miles in the electric mode alone.

• Aerodynamics developed with know-how from Formula 1. CX drag coefficient optimised to just 0.22. Forward-looking energy management uses the maximum potential available in each case to minimise fuel consumption.

Design:
• Technology-oriented body design as a clear expression of consistent lightweight technology and aerodynamic quality. Design language typical of the brand, setting clear signals in terms of sporting performance and optimum efficiency.

• The 2+2-seater concept combines dynamic performance and supreme efficiency with an enhanced level of all-round function. BMW Vision EfficientDynamics symbolises BMW's commitment to offer an unprecedented driving experience for up to four occupants.

• BMW Vision EfficientDynamics comes with gullwing doors opening up to the side. Innovative, weight-optimised door kinematics makes entering the car at both front and rear convenient and very easy.

• The interior of this unique 2+2-seater intentionally demonstrates the very latest in modern technology. At the same time the use of natural materials underlines BMW's strategy of sustainability borne out through this concept car.

• The roof and door inserts made of polycarbonate glass automatically become darker as a function of incoming light.

BMW M Supercar Concept




It's been three decades since BMW produced its first and last mid-engined supercar, the M1, and even though the Bavarian firm raised expectations with the introduction of the M1 Homage Concept at last year's Concorso d'Eleganza, the company has no official plans to resurrect the famous nameplate. But for those that continue to hope that BMW will produce a thoroughbred sports car in the near future, South African designer Idres Noah has created a striking concept proposal for an Audi R8-rivaling bimmer.

Despite the fact that we see some styling influences from the M1 Homage Concept, Idries' concept study has its own character. By far the best parts of the design are the supercar's kinky profile and especially the rear end which is hotter than Eva Mendez in a Brazilian bikini holding her hands between her thighs... The front-end design on the other hand could do with some work, but overall, we lift our hat to Idries Noah and hope we see more design proposals in the future.
