BMW To Show Off Hybrid X5 Concept At Geneva Auto Show
BMW has chosen 2008 as the year of showing off their ‘green’ side at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. One of their most expectant concepts that they will be showing off is the X5 Vision EfficientDynamics Concept. This new concept has been built with a 2.0 liter four cylinder, twin turbo diesel that can be mated to a hybrid motor.
The diesel by itself can make up to 204 horsepower and 295 pound-ft. of torque. When you add the compact generator you can increase that power another 20 horsepower and 154 pound-ft. of torque. The power is spread throughout the car through the use of the eight speed gearbox.
BMW has also added a regenerative braking system, enhanced and aerodynamically 19” wheels, and solar panels that have been mounted to the roof.
