Report: BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Headed for Production in 2013
A senior BMW official has confirmed that the wild Vision EfficientDynamics turbo-diesel plug-in hybrid is headed for production. BMW showed the concept at the Frankfurt Auto Show last year where it received an overwhelmingly positive reaction.
The car has all-wheel drive thanks to two electric motors (one at each axle). A turbo-diesel engine provides the power to keep batteries charged, giving a range of 400 miles. The article above suggests: “356-hp and 590 ft-lbs of torque, delivering a 0-62 mph time of 4.8 seconds.”

No ifs, ands or buts.
