SIMPLE BMW 3-Wheeled Concept Car
At the BMW Group, Simple is the acronym for sustainable and innovative mobility product for low energy consumption, a vehicle concept combining features and advantages of both motorcars and motorcycles.
The BMW Simple is 110 centimeters wide and its configuration for two people sitting one behind the other.
The concept owes its protective passenger compartment to motorcars whereas the streamline shape, the two occupants seated one behind the other and the uniquely driving experience are naturally owed to motorcycles.
The BMW Simple can get from 0 to 100 km/h in around 10 seconds and has a drag coefficient of 0.18. Using the electric motor and the combustion engine, the Simple would need just 6 kWh (equivalent to 0.7 litres of petrol) or two litres over 100 km.
Whilst researching ideas for futuristic urban mobility combined with the prerequisite of reduced consumption (less than 2l /100 km eqals less than 120mpg) and emission values (50g CO2 /100 km), the BMW Group spawned this concept vehicle featuring the extremely low weight of 450 kg and aerodynamic drag properties (0,18 drag coefficient), which of course also fulfilled all the BMW Group premium brand demands: sheer driving pleasure, innovative vehicle configuration, technology integration and a sense of comfort and spaciousness.
125 mpg,as comfortable as a sedan,fun to drive,ultra low emissions.Sounds to good to be true,I guess that is why we will never see it Instead we all sit back ,complain about the high cost of gas and do nothing.If BMW received enough interest,they might very well build this,to me this would be a great start to some incredible vehicles and a way out of this huge mess we created.
