Engine & Battery • Turbodiesel engine with unprecedented specific output • Displacing 1.5 liters on three cylinders, the engine consistently follows the downsizing principle of using a relatively small engine combined with a turbocharger to reduce fuel consumption • Two electric motors for full-hybrid drive • The compact electric motor positioned between the diesel engine and the DCT outputs a consistent 33 horsepower and is able to reach a peak of up to 51 hp • A second electric motor acts on the front axle. This engine, a hybrid synchronous motor, offers continuous output of 80 horsepower • Lithium-polymer battery for electrical energy • 98 lithium-polymer cells, each offering a capacity of 30 amp/hours and developing continuous output of 600 Amps at a voltage of 3.7 V. For a period of 30 seconds, each cell is even able to develop maximum output of 1,200 Amps • Plug-in solution: convenient charging of the electric power system from a conventional power socket • Brake Energy Regeneration captures electric power generated while driving without additional fuel consumption, which is subsequently used to supply power to the electric motors and on-board network. A further option is to connect the lithium-polymer cells to a conventional power socket
Fuel Efficiency and Emission Management • In addition to electrical energy storage, It comes with a conventional fuel tank offering a capacity of 6.6 gallons. • Running on diesel fuel alone, it is able to cover a distance of approximately 400 miles with its combustion engine • The all-electric mode gives the car an extra 31 miles of driving • Average fuel consumption equal to 62.6 mpg. CO2 emissions, in turn, are 99 grams per kilometer • the Concept consumes 17.5 kW/h per 100 kilometers of electric power, equal to a CO2 emission rating of just 50 grams per kilometer in the EU test cycle • driving in the all-electric mode the CO2 emission ratings generated are reduced further to just one-third of the original figure of 99 grams per kilometer
STYLE • Interior: innovative lightweight construction and unprecedented orientation to the driver • Innovative light technology: providing clear signals to the outside and offering soothing ambient illumination inside in a unique symbiosis • Overhead doors for convenient access to all seats. • Clear focus on the essential: 3-dimensional Head-Up Display • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Ul3JyypCw
Facts • Measuring 181.1" in length, 74.8" in width and 48.8" in height • weight is 3,076 lb • maximum payload of 981 lb • Luggage capacity of 5.3 cu ft • 2+2-seater • The tires measure 195/55, 21-inch wheels • drag factor (CX) of just 0.22. • Overall system output is 356 horsepower, and peak torque is 590 lb-ft • All wheel drive in electric mode • 4.8-second 0-to-60 miles per hour acceleration and 63 mile to the gallon top speed of 155 mph • Price Range: $150,000 up
