About BMW ActiveHybrid 7
The BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid is a concept car developed by BMW that debuted at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It is BMW’s first mild hybrid and the company’s second hybrid concept vehicle, following the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid, the company’s first full hybrid, which debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Both models will be mass-produced by the end of 2009.
The BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid combines an engine based on the High Precision Injection V8 Twin Turbo unit found in the BMW 750i (which delivers 300 kW/407 hp) with an electric motor designed solely to assist the internal combustion engine. The integrated electric motor provides 15 kW of power and 210 Nm of torque and is located between the transmission and the engine. In this so-called mild hybrid configuration, the electric motor boosts the potential of the eight-cylinder petrol engine while using Brake Energy Regeneration to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions – mostly in urban traffic.
Since 1977, the BMW 7 Series has been a full-size luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by the German automaker BMW. It is currently in its sixth generation and is the successor to the BMW E3 “New Six” sedan.
The 7 Series is BMW’s flagship model, and it is only available in sedan form (including long wheelbase and limousine models). It is customarily the first model in the BMW lineup to introduce new technologies and exterior design themes.
The 7 Series’ first generation was powered by straight-6 petrol engines, with subsequent generations powered by inline-4, straight-6, V8 and V12 engines with both natural aspiration and turbocharging. Diesel engines have been available as an option in the 7 Series since 1995.
In contrast to the 3 and 5 Series sedans, BMW offers a non-pureblood M variant, the BMW M760 6.6L V12 (at the time the most powerful BMW ever made, not to be confused with BMW 760 6.6 V12 which does not offer the same performance). The Alpina B7 (G12) is one of the 7 Series’ high-performance variants.
The E23 is the first generation 7 Series, and it was manufactured between 1977 and 1987. To replace the E3 sedans, it was built in a 4-door sedan body style with 6-cylinder engines. A turbocharged 6-cylinder engine was available from 1983 to 1987.
For the first time in a BMW, the E23 featured an on-board computer, service interval indicator, a “check control panel” (warning lights to indicate system faults to the driver), a dictaphone, and complex climate control systems. It was also the first BMW to include anti-lock braking (ABS), a driver’s airbag, and a double-link front suspension.
