Cool! That's the BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept. A full hybrid powered by a three-cylinder turbodiesel connected to a pair of electric motors pumping out 265 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque.

Great spot as that's the BMW VisionED (i8)

According to Bimmerpost:

Quote:

What is known is that the car will have a revolutionary drivetrain featuring a 161-horsepower 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbo diesel engine mated with a hybrid synchronous motor on the front axle (80HP) and full electric motor on the rear axle (51HP), to give a combined 292HP good for 0-60 in 4.7seconds.
