BMW will be showing off the new X5 Vision EfficientDynamics Concept at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. This year they have proven that they are choosing for their theme to be ‘green’ and showing off this twin-turbo, 2.0 liter four cylinder diesel engine that can connect to a hybrid motor is a perfect beginning to that.
The diesel by itself can make up to 204 horsepower and 295 pound-ft. of torque. When you add the compact generator you can increase that power another 20 horsepower and 154 pound-ft. of torque. The power is spread throughout the car through the use of the eight speed gearbox.
BMW has also added a regenerative braking system, enhanced and aerodynamically 19” wheels, and solar panels that have been mounted to the roof.
