BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept Car

Well, this week we saw BMW release details of their latest sports concept car, but it's more than a sportscar.

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is a combination of the potential of BMW ActiveHybrid technology, and the power of BMW EfficientDynamics.

Technology on BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car consists of a full-hybrid concept, and is powered by a three-cylinder turbodiesel and two electric motors.

The combination of these technologies provides overall system output of 262 kW/356 hp, with maximum torque at 800 Newton-metres/590 lb-ft. The car is an all-wheel drive consisting of an electric motor on both rear and front axles.

Projected performance is anticipated to be in the region of zero to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) - this is electronically limited. Fuel consumption in the EU test cycle measured at 3.76 litres/100km, with CO2 emissions 99 grams/kilometre.

Electric power is generated without compromising any fuel consumption efficiency, using a particularly efficient concept of Brake Energy Regeneration. The energy is stored in 98 lithium polymer cells, with a range of about 50 km using the electric mode alone.

IT'S GAME WORLD.....NEW SONY PSP...

Before Sony had time to prepare and announce their new PSP concept at E3, details have already emerged concerning the new generation of portable console. The recent Sony PSP-3000, the third evolvement, looks set to be displaced by the new Go.
The PSP Go is expected to hit stores in North America on 1st October, while Europe/Asia will welcome the product the following month. The retail price will be set at $249.

The PSP-3000 will continue to be sold during this time, and consumer opinions will determine which portable gaming console should be continued.The PSP Go will not come with a UMD drive, but will include 16GB of internal memory which will support on-demand entertainment via the PlayStation Network. This all depends on download speeds and in some areas the speeds will be extremely slow, and render the console effectively useless to them. These areas may have to settle forthe PSP-3000 for the time being.

The PSP Go also exhibits an easy-slide panel, a 'game sleep' function which allows you to activate the XrossMediaBar while game-play is temporarily suspended. Bluetooth enabled technology and a whole host of accessories are also included withthe PSP Go.

What do you think of the new PSP Go? Will it be as successful as the DS Lite was for Nintendo?
