BMW ActiveHybrid 7


Thereare typically two types of gasoline/electric hybrid-powered cars: those whoseexistence is meant to move people from one place to another with the leastamount of gasoline, and those that exploit the same technology to offer greaterperformance. The 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 belongs to the latter school ofthought.

So trynot to think of the 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 as a rolling contradiction with aprice tag that outweighs its efficiency. Instead consider that it's asophisticated super sedan with the power of a V12 engine, only with the thirstof a mere V8. Only then does this $100,000 techno-vessel begin to make sense.

At theheart of the 7 Series hybrid beats a twin-turbocharged, direct-injected V8 andan advanced eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, there is also athree-phase synchronous electric motor sandwiched between them. When the outputfrom both systems is combined and blended, the result is a 17-foot-long missilethat can either accelerate like a sports car or earn about 24 mpg on thehighway -- but not both.

If fueleconomy is your number-one goal, you could buy two Chevy Volts, a chargingstation and probably a solar array for your home's roof for the cost of the2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 7. On the other hand, if greater performance is apriority, the even more powerful 760i or the Alpina B7 are likely betterchoices.

Meanwhile,Porsche now offers the Panamera Hybrid at a similar price. It benefits frombetter mileage (but at the expense of power). There's also the Mercedes-BenzS400 Hybrid, undercutting the BMW's price a little while also deliveringslightly better fuel economy. However, if you are somehow looking for a luxurysedan that combines hybrid street cred with sub-5-second 0-60-mph sprints anddynamic handling, then the 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is the only game in town.
