Frankfurt Motor Show 2009
BMW Vision Efficient
AVision Efficient Dynamics is a showcase for BMW’s latest technology - with lightweight body construction, new architecture and aerodynamic ideas, as well as an advanced hybrid-drive system. Many of these technologies are finding their way into the company's production cars and this concept car is also a test bed for BMW’s future design language.
Styled under the direction of Adrian van Hooydonk, the large expanses of glass on the body express visual lightness.
The diesel-electric hybrid system – it can run on electric power, diesel or a combination - powering the car offers 163bhp and 214lbft of torque, which makes it more powerful than BMW’s existing low consumption engines. Any car inspired by the VED would be light years ahead of the competition in terms of style and technology, and its positive reception made a production version a tempting prospect.
