LA Auto Show: 2009 BMW Concept 7-Series Active Hybrid

November 21st, 2008 · No Comments

More BMW goodness from the LA auto show. Aside from the newly redesigned 7-Series, BMW also pulled the covers off of its Concept 7-Series Active Hybrid, which benefits from an additional electric motor. The extra power bumps the overall horsepower of the Active Hybrid to 420 horsepower and an epic 605 lb-ft of torque. No word on how the extra batteries and electric motor would help the car’s fuel consumption. So far the Active Hybrid is just a concept, but it proves that BMW is seriously contemplating the next step in reducing fuel consumption and emissions. [Photo courtesy of Jalopnik]
