2011 BMW i8

The BMW i8 Concept and the fascinating approach that underpins it embody the vision of a sustainable contemporary sports car brought to life. Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept � fitted over its front axle � with a high-performance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW/220 hp and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the rear. Working in tandem, they allow the two drive systems to display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car.

Acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under five seconds combined with fuel consumption in the European cycle of under three litres per 100 kilometres (approx. 94 mpg imp) are figures currently beyond the capability of any vehicle powered by a combustion engine of comparable performance. Thanks to its large lithium-ion battery, which can be charged from a domestic power supply, the BMW i8 Concept can travel up to 35 kilometres (approx. 20 miles) on electric power alone. Added to which, the 2+2-seater offers enough space for four people, giving it a high level of everyday practicality.

The LifeDrive architecture of the BMW i8 Concept has been carefully adapted to enhance the vehicle�s sports car character, and therefore to deliver unbeatable performance and excellent driving dynamics. The motor in the front axle module and combustion engine at the rear are connected by an �energy tunnel�, which houses the high-voltage battery. This gives the car a low centre of gravity � and the dynamic benefits that

come with it. The positioning of the electric motor and engine over their respective axles and the space-saving and well-balanced packaging of all components result in an optimum 50/50 weight distribution.

The emotional design of the BMW i8 Concept ensures its qualities are clear for all to see. Its dynamic proportions give the BMW i8 Concept the appearance of surging forward before it even turns a wheel and lend visual form to its extraordinary performance.
The sporting character continues into the interior. Boasting a driver-focused environment unmatched by any BMW Group vehicle before it, the BMW i8 Concept immerses the driver fully in the unique driving experience. The BMW i8 Concept is the sports car for a new generation � pure, emotional and sustainable.

CARBARN  | 2012 BMW 650i | Pictures show some of the distinctive features of the car, but closer inspection shows some of the styling cues are very subtle, felt as much as seen.What�s interesting is that the front fenders are thermoplastic. The doors are stamped aluminum and the rear fenders steel.

 

 

The creases on the hood flow forward onto the nose of the car. Again aluminum hood and thermoplastic nose. These little touches have to drive the production folks crazy, but they make the styling work.
 

 

The interior design was built around the idea of tightly defining the driver�s space. Consider anything covered in leather below the air vents the passenger�s space, the rest belongs to the driver. We should have more on the 6er design tomorrow for you after the 6 Series Convertible Design Workshop lead by Adrian van Hooydonk.

2012 BMW Z2

  

CARBARN  | 2012 BMW Z2 | A new, entry-level roadster based on the 1-series and powered by a range of economical four-cylinder engines may be brewing at BMW.

That Speculation would lead us to believe That a range of four-cylinders, including a 120hp (90kW) entry-level models and a 211hp (157kW) turbocharged unit Could be on the table for the smallest of BMW's roadsters. The soft-top roadster would be fairly light, however, and the Thrifty four-cylinder engines would be efficient. This combination would make it an ideal competitor for cars like the Mazda MX-5 and Lotus Elise.

Performance from the punchy engines would be sporting Likely, but not fast: estimates put 0-62mph (0-100km / h) times around 7 seconds, and top speed at about 150mph (240km / h). A high-performance variant with BMW's 3.0L twin-turbocharged six is reportedly under consideration as is a hybrid model.

 

Four-cylinder engines with turbochargers and direct injection of U.S. Could eventually see sale, but the first applications for Them Will Likely be conservative 3-series sedans, not sports cars.

Based on a powerful tradition in this segment, the BMW Gran Coup� Concept carries the essence of brand values and the genes of BMW design into the future. The concept shows the classic features of all BMW

coupes: the long wheelbase, the vaulted bonnet with forward-pointing lines, the set-back greenhouse, the flat silhouette, the coupe-style roof line and the short front overhang reflect the dynamic potential of the vehicle.

BMW 7

CARBARN | BMW 7 | one of the newest sports cars to be marketed next year 2012 this enliven the world car market, manufacturers expect this car can be well received by its customers, than that this car is made ??especially by offering a different facility than the previous car, would know? The following report

It has been nearly nine months since we last caught up with BMW�s 2012 3-Series in the wild, and six months since we shared our illustrations of what we think BMW�s next bread and butter sedan will resemble. Today, we can gladly report a fresh set of spy shots of the 3-Series sedan as it completed winter testing in northern Sweden.In many ways the flagship of BMW�s lineup, the 3-Series sedan has never been a blank canvas for BMW design. Instead, it pursues a trickle-down approach that defines �evolutionary, not revolutionary.� Despite its conservative style, the 2012 3-Series is set to be the sportiest looking and driving 3-Series yet as BMW continues to hone its performance credentials as the competition draws ever nearer.

Codenamed F30, the car has been in development since the E90-coded (BMW is out of EXX project codes) 3-Series debuted as a 2006 model. We expect the F30 to formally debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Convertibles, coupes, M3s, a traditional wagon and a 3-Series Gran Turismo will follow as BMW expands the 3-Series model lineup.

Our illustrator consulted with inside sources who revealed that the new car will ride on a slightly longer wheelbase � up around an inch and a half � but will have considerably shorter overhangs. In addition to giving the car a sportier look, the longer wheelbase and shorter overhangs preserve its small exterior dimensions that help give it its legendary handling.

Look for some of the upcoming X3's design language to carry over into the 3; Chris Bangle�s flame surfacing is long gone and the X3 is expected to introduce a series of design cues. Yet don�t count out the current 5-Series, which has returned to its crisply tailored look for the 2011 model year. The 5-Series and the Z4 lend their forward-pushing snouts and increasingly sharp angles.
