Andrew 30 Report post Posted September 15, 2008 In an interview with German newspaper Die Zeit, BMW’s CEO Norbert Reithofer confirmed that BMW is indeed working on a tiny ‘mega city’ car. He said that the car will have a completely different look than anything currently made by BMW. Powertrain choices will include a fuel-efficient combustion engine and a pure-electric model. Reithofer said that the electric-powered car will meet California regulations which call for a range of 200 miles for fuel-cell or battery-powered cars by 2012. It is still not confirmed whether the small-car will carry a BMW badge and we highly doubt. BMW, however, is considering reviving its old ‘Isetta’ marquee to become a fourth brand.

melowpuf 19 Report post Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) I have always had a soft spot for the Isetta. It doesn't have the front door but none the less it is definitely an Isetta. Edited September 16, 2008 by melowpuf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auckland is pretty much the perfect city for this kind of vehicle, as you would never come anywhere near using up its range in the course of a day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JiB 2 Report post Posted September 16, 2008 I wonder what your power bill would look like if you charged it at home? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melowpuf 19 Report post Posted September 16, 2008 I wonder what your power bill would look like if you charged it at home? Charge it at work heh. I wonder if it would be small enough to fit in the elevator. Park it under your desk and plug it in. A Peel P50 would be equally as cool though. Or Peel Trident woohoo sporte' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
