Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, the world’s largest maker of luxury autos, will build its first hybrid supercar as part of a broader effort to create more fuel-efficient vehicles and underline its technological prowess.
The Vision Efficient Dynamics model, which accelerates to 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles) in 4.8 seconds while emitting 99 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer, will go on sale in 2013, the Munich-based carmaker said today at an event in Leipzig, Germany. The car will be priced below the company’s Rolls-Royce models, development chief Klaus Draeger said.
