This morning i read a great article,in a romanian newspaper, Evenimentul Zilei,that was citing www.hybridcars.com saying that BMW was testing ! a new hybrid version of the already amazing BMW X6. The new car will be shown in the Frankfurt Auto Show,held in september 2009.
The picture was taken near Spartanburg, California a town that has a BMW factory in USA.

As the newspaper said,it will have 2 engines: the petrol one,being a V8 and having 400 HP and 4400 cmc and a hybrid engine,of unknown power. As all hybrids,it will help reduce fuel consumption by moving the car at slower speeds,and perhaps at highway speed,where the vehicle travels at a constant speed.
What's great,is the electric engines have full torque from the beginning,allowing very fast acceleration.
What's not cool,is that batteries add to vehicle weight and also,a higher tag price is a certainty.
It seems the starting price for the BMW X6 hybrid will be around 50.000 Euros.
