BMW Unveils Plug-in Diesel Hybrid Supercar

by Max 9. September 2009 10:58

BMW has unveiled a plug-in diesel hybrid supercar concept that, if it performs as promised, could achieve speeds of 155 mph and a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds.

The new BMW Vision Efficientdynamics Concept comes with a unique 356 horsepower drivetrain, all wheel drive, and the ability to travel up to 31 miles without kicking in the diesel engine, according to Autopia.

The car is a 2+2 four-door (!) that BMW claims will get 62 miles per gallon and emit just 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer, which is similar to a Toyota Prius and especially impressive for a diesel engine. The report said that the lithium-polymer battery pack consists of 98 cells, doesn't need active cooling, and recharges in two and a half hours using 220 volts.
It's doubtful the car will see production at least in this guise. For now, consider it a rolling technology bed for future high-performance BMWs.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.
