BMW to Launch EfficientDynamics Plug-In Hybrid Sports Car Future Cars
One of the more radical sports car concepts from the 2009 Frankfurt motor show has been given the green light.

BMW announced on Friday that it would put the Vision EfficientDynamics concept into production. Amid reports that the car would be ready by 2013, Frank Strebe, a BMW spokesman, clarified in an e-mail, “We will bring the car into market in about three-four years, so 2014 is more realistic.”

The Vision EfficientDynamics, in concept form, is a 2+2 sports car. The hybrid system, which uses a 3-liter turbo diesel engine with electric motors on the front and rear axles, makes an equivalent of 328 horsepower. The system is powered by a lithium-polymer battery that BMW says can be fully charged with a conventional (European) power socket in two and half hours
