The BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics (VED) prototype we saw debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year is actually going into production...and will be shockingly close to its conceptual form.
Often times a vehicle's lofty and futuristic conceptual design is a far cry from the form it takes on in production.
Cars World reports,
Final production numbers won’t be known for a while, but the prototype features wing doors and a 2+2 seating arrangement. Underhood, a three-cylinder turbo diesel engine “with a hybrid synchronous motor at the front axle and a full-hybrid engine at the rear axle” put out a total of 241 kW/328 bhp and hits 0-100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) in just 4.8 seconds. 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.
