The prototype vehicle has four separate electrically powered wheels that make parallel parking and U-turns a real walk in the park.

BMW isn't quite ready yet to uncover the interior and exterior styling of the i8 2+2 seater coupe, simply releasing photos of a camouflaged pre-production tester, but it is ready to share initial information and specifications.

The first thing you need to know about the i8 is that it was conceived from the outset as a plug-in hybrid sports car, with BMW looking to combine dynamic performance with green credentials.

To do that, it chose to fit the i8 with a brand-new, small displacement 228hp (231PS) 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine sending power to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic, and a 129hp (131PS) electric motor turning the front axle through an integrated two-stage automatic transmission. The two power systems can work independently or together with a combined output of 357hp (361PS) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) for full performance and all-wheel drive stability.

The model revealed in Hyderabad, the capital and largest city of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, is the new i10 Grand, which is 100mm (3.9 inches) longer than the upcoming European version set to debut in Germany next month.

In this case, there was a prolonged horn blast on the driver's behalf, but that's not what made us share the following dash-cam video.

Joining the likes of Riccardo Russo who started his slow victory run at the 2012 Italian CV Championship race at the Mugello…one lap before the end, 17-year-old Australian Women's National Motocross champion Meghan Rutledge lifted her fist in the air during her last jump at the Women's Moto-X race in Los Angeles this past weekend.

This week, the California Energy Commission (CEC) awarded Hydrogen Frontier, Inc. a $3 million (€2.3 million) grant to transform Hyundai's existing hydrogen energy generation and fueling station in Chino, California, to a modern 100 percent renewable hydrogen fueling station for fuel cell electric vehicles.

Despite the fact that BMW decided it was a good idea to change all that for their latest generation car, and call the two-door variant the 4-Series, even though most say it's an unwise move on their part, that does nothing to dilute the impressive history behind it.

Powered by a 109hp (110PS) 1.6-liter diesel engine, the Audi A3 1.6 TDI Ultra has an average fuel consumption of just 3.2 liters/100 km (73.5 US mpg). This is equivalent to CO2 emissions of just 85 grams per kilometer (136.79 g/mile).
