BMW ‘reveals’ new EfficientDynamics prototype

BMW has established a Web site called www.dontblogabouthis.com with the express purpose of revealing a prototype being used to test a new gasoline-electric driveline earmarked for a future sports car.

The pre-paid service plans cover any service carried out on Volvos up to six years of age and up to a maximum of ten scheduled services.
