BMW is preparing a new supercar with an exterior design inspired by the Vision Efficient Dynamics brought out at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. It’s been a long time now since we first heard of news around this. Now BMW has made it widely known that they are introducing a brand new rendering of the future supercar. The new supercar is expected to engage in its world debut in 2015.
The next BMW Vision Supercar, as suggested by several rumors, is going to use a hybrid power that will combine a V10 engine. The V10 engine churns out at 7750 rpm delivering 507 HP and the torque levels of 520 Nm. The engine consists of two electric motors; one installed on the front axle and the second one fitted at the rear between the V10 and transmission box. The sports sedan will be attached to the six-speed M-Sport automatic transmission.
The first electric motor is expected to churn out 80 to 115 HP while the second electric motor installed at the rear would deliver more than 50 hp. The company announced that the car would weigh just beneath 1500 kg. In order to keep the weight of the sports sedan under control, the company would make use of the all-new aluminum chassis, carbon fiber bodywork, fine Kevlar bucket seats, and several magnesium and plastic parts. All this would help the M8 weigh just less than 1500 kilograms. With lighter weight the super sports sedan would pick up the speed from 0 mph to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.
