After the ActiveHybrid X6, another hybrid member joined the Bmw family: ActiveHybrid 7! The new vehicle, which will be showcased at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, is based on the BMW 7-Series and sets new standards for performance and efficiency in the premium luxury class.

Under the hood of this beauty we find the upgraded twin-turbo, High Precision Direct Injection, V8 engine with a 3-phase synchronous electric motor capable to deliver 455 hp and maximum torque of 516 lb-ft (preliminary figures).Power is transmitted via an 8-speed automatic transmission with the electric motor positioned between the engine and the torque converter. The new ActiveHybrid 7 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds while the top speed is limited to 150 mph. Also, the new car shows a fuel economy approximately 15% better than the 750i but the official EPA ratings will be available closer to the US market launch.
