BMW to build sports hybrid

We're not sure about the colour scheme, but this is the prototype of a 2+2 sports car that BMW is going to put into production.

The power source will be a 3-cylinder diesel and hybrid system which will between them provide 328hp. A 4.8 seconds sprint capability won't get in the way of a fuel economy planned to be the equivalent of 75mpg, with CO2 emissions of 99g/km.

It's a plug-in hybrid system and there will be an EV range of 50kms.
