By Design: BMW Vision EfficientDynamics
BMW Vision EfficientDynamics - Car Design Analysis - Automobile Magazine
This car is clearly related to what has been going on in Formula 1 for quite some time now -- and in aviation long before that.

A midst insincere electric and hybrid promises and over-the-top, 500-plus-hp, 200-mph cars close to the hearts of German engineers and executives, there was one concept at the Frankfurt auto show that actually represented a credible synthesis of green and mean: BMW's Vision EfficientDynamics. I thought it was excessively busy but highly interesting. A little to my surprise, it was the clear favorite of many serious top-level designers from other companies whose work - and opinions - I respect. But then, who wouldn't like a three-cylinder diesel that gives you, with its associated electrical helpers, 351 hp, a bunch of torque, superlow emissions, and a claimed 63 mpg?inline_mediumwraptextright31006611/features/by_design/0912_bmw_vision_efficientdynamics_design_analysis0912_02_z+bMW_vision_efficientDynamics+side_view.jpgTrue
