At BMW, just as there’s no such thing as striving for second place, there’s also no room for
less-than-inspiring power. Take, for example, the powerplant under the hood of the i Gran
Turismo. Designed for reliably smooth and quick acceleration, this Advanced Turbo V- serves
up hp of pure exhilaration, with a wide power band and truly inspiring top speed. The lb-ft
of maximum torque is available over an extremely broad range – from to rpm. With a
standstill to time of . seconds,
it’s just the kind of track-inspired muscle that built BMW’s
formidable reputation.
No less impressive is the -hp inline six-cylinder Advanced Turbo engine in the i Gran
Turismo. With lb-ft of torque that kicks in at just rpm, hit the throttle and in just .
seconds you’re sailing past mph.
Yet, like the V- engine in the i Gran Turismo, it’s also
one of the most fuel-effi cient turbocharged powerplants available.
What makes these engines so revolutionary is BMW’s Effi cientDynamics mandate. For all its
daunting power, the i Gran Turismo’s V- is incredibly fuel effi cient, owing to its unique
turbocharger construction and placement. Another contributing factor: the High Precision
direct injection regulates fuel usage so precisely, it actually lowers the vehicle’s emissions
by up to percent, meeting U.S. Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) limits.
Both engines are paired with a groundbreaking new -speed automatic transmission.
Smooth-shifting and sporty, this transmission features taller cruising gears and a unique
gear arrangement for an unusually high effi ciency of percent in all eight gears. A faster
shift time also improves fuel effi ciency – that’s BMW’s Effi cientDynamics in action.
