BMW Green Concept Sports Car, in Frankfurt

In the press release issued yesterday by German manufacturer BMW to announce their official withdrawal from Formula 1 after the current season concludes, an exciting piece of information was hidden.

Talking about the "whys" behind the manufacturer's decision to exit Formula 1, Klaus Draeger, BMW member of the board let slip that BMW would rather take the money used for racing and place them into the development of sustainable development.

According to Draeger, the results of BMW's new endeavors will be seen only two months from now, when the Frankfurt Auto Show opens its doors. At the event, BMW will bring a concept sports car boasting all the sustainability principles adopted in the last few years by BMW.

"You will see a product of sustainable development at the IAA in Frankfurt in a few weeks in the form of a concept car. The BMW EfficientDynamics Vision will demonstrate how efficient a sports car can be. It will also prove that sustainability does not apply to the drive train alone, but to design and materials as well," Draeger said.

Of course, no other details were provided but we must admit, we are now looking forward (even more) to the debut of the Frankfurt show.

"Anyone who takes a closer look at this concept car will understand the direction in which we are developing our technology. And it will become evident that we will have to dedicate more human and financial resources to this type of development work," the BMW official added.

Be on the lookout for further development because now, that the cat is out of the bag, new info will most surely surface prior to the event.
