Bimmer fans rejoice! BMW has announced that the the Vision Efficient Dynamics (VED) concept will indeed make its way into production. The concept, which was first seen more than a year ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show, has received such a tremendous response that it will arrive for sale within the next few years.
Expected to carry a price tag of around $200K, the road-ready Vision Efficient Dynamics is expected to feature wing doors and a 2+2 seating arrangement. Powering this unique supercar will be a three-cylinder turbo diesel engine “with a hybrid synchronous motor at the front axle and a full-hybrid engine at the rear axle.” With 328 horsepower, this powertrain will propel the VED from 0-62 mph in just 4.8 seconds. What’s even more impressive than its performance figures is that the VED still delivers a Toyota Prius-beating 62.5 miles per gallon U.S.
The production VED model will also feature plug-in capabilities to recharge its lithium-polymer battery. It will be able to be charged via a conventional power socket within just two and half hours. The use of electrical energy alone permits zero-emissions motoring with a range of some 31 miles, while a 24-liter diesel tank extends the total action radius of the vehicle to up to 434 miles.

That’s an nice car! 200k while though I will have to work hard for that one.
With that kind of pricetag, the fuel savings and carbon footprint savings is not going to do a lot in the big picture. But I suppose it will help make a few rich guys feel better about spending that much on a Beemer.
C’mon kids! In the VED now or I’m taking the doors off your ROOM!
Finally what I have been waiting for… next step… finding $200,000 to spend…
Awesome. It’ll look nothing like the prototype and will cost so much money (along with a left tit or testicle) that the average person won’t be able to afford it.
Me too, Kelly. Lots of technology to drool over with this vehicle. Dang. So hot.
