This is the signature Bavarian given to a communique in which it says is a priority, the development of a new City Car , thus excluding the new super sedan, based on the CS Concept .
A short time ago were speculating that it would return to Isetta , but this seems to be just a rumor, because BMW intended only revive the spirit of those cars and not the brand. This, in my opinion, it should be, because they do not want Mini has jurisdiction within the same company. Whether the Isetta again, I do not think of anything detrimental to Mini .
The new development will focus on creating a model that is well below the Mini . Apparently this will be the flagship of BMW in the front and not that of another brand (in this still will). But what if you can be assured is that the same will be the engine propelling the line EfficientDynamics , which implies a safe very low emissions.
The City Car will be electric and is expected to have a good autonomy, and a fairly acceptable. It is also to imagine that the intention of BMW is to attack the market Smart , where it is already being used as a kind of taxi -seeing at the moment. The new vehicle has no departure date, but is speculated to the 2011 . Just have to wait and see what we showed in signing the next meeting rooms ( Geneva / Frankfurt ).
