AMAZING! This is exactly what motor shows are all about. Crazy, futuristic concept cars that look otherworldly.

The BMW concept car, Vision Efficient Dynamics, Undoubtedly reflected an innovative driving concept, with functional approaching and vivid emotional design. Like other typical BMW sports car, the accentuation of this BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics design was on its harmony and reflecting the efficient aerodynamic visualization in lightweight construction. The form-follow-function principle not only seen on the overall appearance of this car, but also include every exterior and interior details, whereas the front, side, rear and even its roof, were integrated in design. Undoubtedly, the layer-designed technology developed by the BMW Design Group Division was the platform for this car’s design. It resulted in its smooth body surface and reducing too many unnecessary components, thus enlighten its weight.

The BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics also designed with a lot of aerial access. Such as pillar-A, that’s allowing the air to flow all the way to the rear lamp, while the car’s floor was flatly designed from back to front. this was intentionally designed to avoid the air-circle underneath the car that affected in high fuel consumption.

The new concept of the jet-air was the plug-in hybrid engine. The idea was to combine the M3 engine capability, but less in fuel consumption. With this combination, BMW claimed that the car can reach 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

The engine concept is using the 1.5L turbo diesel engine, or only half of 3.0 L engine type that BMW firstly applied on the 335d series. With the maximum performance of 163HP on maximum torque of 214 lb-ft, the machine was combined with 6-speed DCT transmission, the same type used on M3 and Z4 model.

Another new system implanted in this BMW Vission Efficient Dynamics was the developed technology from light-hybrid engine which firstly introduced on the ActiveHybrid 7 model. just like the ActiveHybrid 7, the electrical 33HP engine was placed between the machine and its transmission, and the 80HP projected from both engine was able to give the thrust on the front axle. Total output gained by these three engine was 356HP on 590 lb-ft torque! Amazing!
