BMW 7-Series Active Hybrid Revealed

1st turbocharged hybrid pretty baddass

Nothing wrong to say, car is just amazing, and those front grills (or kidneys) are so much better when they're turn to inside!

Article states 400Wh Battery, pictures state 800Wh battery? The way the electric motor is bolted to the gearbox is pretty tidy. Any idea on mpg figures?

That snot face hasn't really grown on me yet. Think this car should be much better than the Hydrogen 7.

455 bhp combined...? how much kw/hp does the e-engine has? 10, 12, 20? wow, what an achievment...

455bhp...8-speed auto...similar styling except the front end, etc etc...follow the lexus way!!!yeahhhhhh

Interesting. For a BMW. But the mildhybrid-technique isn't really innovative after this many years of full-hybrids from Japan. I can imagine, the german, other european or american companies could have more attractive ideas then this "simple" step to a "green" future. No one is really interested, that a BMW 7 is cleaner and natur-friendlier. It's more a question of prestige and advertising for poiliticans carried in a luxury "eco"-limousine. I'm sure, the drivetrain works fine. But why not having a version wich has no emmission in towns for example? Or the Hydrogen 7 with hydrogen extracted by regenerative energy? That's the future. Not a mildhybrid. It's only a more efficient way to drive with fuel... Why no brand isn't able to install this wear-legging start-stop-hybrid in millionseller like Golf, Astra, C, E, 3, 5, A4, A6...???

horrible video.

weird looking trunk, I think 8 gears is just too much

Very nice site!
