BMW’s New Green Sports Car

BMW have been working behind closed doors on a new sports car that runs via electric and petrol power. Well now everything is out in the open, but not quite how you would expect... Rather than leaked pictures appearing around the net, BMW have had the great idea of actually allowing people to follow the project through to its conclusion. They have aptly named the mini site, dontblogaboutthis and are using social sharing sites such as youtube and Flickr to upload all of their videos and pictures.

The currently matte black prototype looks as sexy as hell, featuring the rear end from the brand new 6-Series but with the front end of the Vision EfficientDynamics concept car which lept out in to the wild last year. We can tell the car is running narrow 195 tyres on aerodynamic wheels to reduce drag, as well as electric power. Though an engine can be heard in one video which suggests the inclusion of a petrol engine as well.

All in all we a thoroughly impressed both by the car, and BMW embracing today’s technology utilising social media sites. You could arge the blog looks a little homemade (given their huge budget) but for us it just adds to the appeal. So what do you think? Let us know.
