It’s official! BMW is planning to put a mid-engined plug-in hybrid supercar inspired by the Vision Efficient Dynamics concept into production in just two year’s time.
The firm has begun the expansion of its plant at Leipzig in Germany. The new production line will be geared-up to deal with volume production of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) chassis and body panels, which is what the forthcoming Megacity electric supermini will be made from when production begins in early 2013.
However, the firm is likely to factor in production of the Vision Efficient Dynamics supercar too, as it will utilise CFRP construction in order to keep weight close to the 1,450kg of the concept.
