BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars

BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
“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,” adds BMW.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
Starred at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show in Melbourne last month, the BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars retains much of the theatre and excitement of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept that first previewed the futuristic sports car design at Frankfurt in 2009. Sometimes it is time to leave the city. Escape the restrictions of everyday life. The BMW i8 is an icon of progress. It combines the energizing performance of a sports car with benchmark efficiency.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
Unlike the Vision concept which utilised a diesel engine, the new BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars adopting a hybrid setup with an electric motor and a 1.5-liter gasoline unit. The 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine produces an astonishing 164kW of power and 300Nm of torque. To give that some perspective, the current BMW 125i is powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six with 160kW of power and 270Nm of torque – double the capacity, double the cylinders, 4kW less power, 30Nm less torque.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
The BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars 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 - wîth a high-performance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW (220 hp)/300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the rear.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
The electric motor in the BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars is a full-capability unit which can also power the car on its own, if required. However, working in tandem allows 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.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
Assisting the petrol engine is 96kW/250Nm electric motor, which draws power from a lithium-ion battery. With a combined maximum power output of 260kW and 550Nm, the BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds (80-120km/h in 4.0 seconds) and will go on to an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
These impressive features of the German sports car are even greater considering that BMW announced a combined fuel consumption of only 2,7 liters/100 km. In terms of dimensions, the i8 Concept measures 4,6m long, 1,9m wide and 1,2m tall.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
The great power amount offered by the new BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars is also valued by the low total mass of only 1,480 kilograms achieved by using a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) body and an aluminum chassis. The Germans claim that they managed to obtain a 50/50 weight distribution by mounting the engines on each axle, this achievement bringing significant advantages.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
The weight of every component inside the BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars has been minimised down to the very last detail, allowing the extra weight of the electric drive system and battery to be cancelled out. The BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars therefore presents the ideal environment in which to sample this very special drive concept on the road. The passengers sit - in typical sports car style - in an extremely low and enclosed position inside the CFRP-constructed Life module (mounted above the Drive module).
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
Far from just being a performance car, however, the BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars can also be driven in fully electric zero-emissions mode for up to 35km. A full recharge of the battery from a standard power socket takes approximately 105 minutes.
BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars
The navigation system also calculates the best way to manage energy consumption for the trip to ensure that it operates at peak performance and optimal efficiency when required. Under the European driving cycle, the BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars uses fuel at a rate of just 2.7 litres/100km combined, making it one of the most fuel efficient internal combustion engined automobiles in history.
A production version of the BMW i8 Concept Sport Cars is expected to go on sale in Australia in 2014 with a predicted price tag of $300,000.

Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car

Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
The Frankfurt Motor Show has given the creative French automaker Peugeot the platform to unveil the innovative Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car - a "full green electric vehicle that reinvents the automobile in every way: architecture, style, interior design, drive, connectivity – while all the time respecting the environment." The Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car was originally launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show and is now being promoted as a concept in a number of cities around the World.
Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
In London Peugeot have launched the Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car that seats four people in a vehicle just 2.5 meters long. Inspired by Peugeot’s electric VLV from the 1940s, the new all-electric BB1 represents the car firm’s view for the future of electrical-based urban mobility. The Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car, a cross between a scooter and a car, is powered by two electric motors which are mounted in the rear wheels.
Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
The Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car is a fully electric vehicle with the road footprint of something the size of a Smart car, yet it is a full 4 seater designed to take 4 full sized adults for urban commuting in the worlds larger cities. The electric motors are built into the wheels and designed in conjunction with Michelin, and the chassis itself was designed by Peugeot’s motorcycle department. At just 2.5m long, the bubble-shaped BB1 can amazingly seat four people in saddle-like seats and its packaging miracle is achieved by rethinking the driving task.
Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
Access to the vehicle is gained via the reverse opening doors, while the load area access is through an innovative tailgate design. The body is made up of a very light carbon fibre structure, designed to wrap around the passenger compartment. Inside, the car has an extensive range of interactive technologies, including a colour multi-function display and audio system with telephone, navigation, Internet access, radio, MP3, USB connector and 12V power socket if necessary.
Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
There are no pedals so the driver sits more upright with the rear passenger's legs around the driver's torso, motorbike pillion-style. There is no room for a steering wheel either and the driver uses handlebars to control the mini vehicle, which is undoubtedly a real head-turner.
Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
Drive is provided by two electric motors, one for each rear wheel (it uses last year's Michelin in-wheel design), allowing the Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car to maximize its limited interior space despite touting two lithium-ion battery packs. Together, the motors generate a maximum power output of 15 kW (20hp), managing decent start-up times (0 to 19 mph in 2.8 seconds) and in-gear acceleration (19 to 37 mph in 4 seconds) over an effective range of 75 miles. The power needed to turn the electric motor is provided by a lithium-ion battery pack that gives the passenger car an autonomy of 120 km. Weight, including the battery panels, are no more than 600 kilograms, making it insanely light.
Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
Peugeot engineers have completely reinvented the way to design a vehicle. The Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car is therefore based on a tubular chassis designed by Peugeot Motorcycles. It includes all normal vehicle dynamic systems: electric power steering, suspension (double-wishbone front and rear suspension), friction damper spring assemblies - granting the vehicle a level of road-holding to match the vehicle’s performance, its urban nature and driveability and safety levels worthy of the Peugeot Marque.
Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car
Peugeot’s Managing Director, Jon Goodman, about the company’s future fuel strategy: “We need to have multiple solutions. In about two years we need to have vehicles on offer that use standard fuels but are more fuel efficient than today’s models. We need to offer micro-hybrids — that’s cars that use carbon-based fuels but also recover energy when the car is braking. We need to offer Diesel Hybrids which we will do in 2011 as well as a range of electric vehicles in about three years.”
