Remember the Jetsons? This has nothing to do with that, mainly because this new car can't fly. However, it's still cool because it's fully electric. BMW Group (more specifically Mini) is releasing an all electric car called the "Mini E." As outlandish as it may sound, you will be seeing one on the street very soon.
BMW is launching a pilot program where, 500 lucky participants will get to buy and use these cars in daily traffic (in select markets such as New York, New Jersey, and California.) Now for the car talk. It's powered by a 156mi range Lithium Ion battery that you plug in to recharge. It packs 204 horses at 220 Newton Meters and goes from 0 to 100 in 8.5 seconds. Case in point: it's a real car. It's no M3. However, it's still a real car. And for the people trying to save the world as well as those too slow to notice, it's ZERO emissions.

BMW CS cancelled...
The BMW CS, the Concept car that BMW was planning to launch in competition with all the excessive sedans in the market such as the Benz CLS has been canceled. The car made it's North American debut at the New York International Auto Show in my home city in March and was Globally debuted at the Shanghai auto show in 2007. The car was supposed to combine the exhilarating experience of driving a sports car with the luxury of a touring sedan. As we know, America's economic downturn has caused them to cancel the release of the CS. This was revealed in a conference call about BMW's 3Q Report.
