BMW Simple Concept is Simple, Odd
BMW’s two-seater city concept – The Simple Car – is simple, odd, and interesting. At first glance it reminds us of something George Lucas would design for an upcoming Star Wars feature – the X-Wing fighter beak on BMW’s Simple will probably cut through traffic jams on the NJ Turnpike heading to the closest BMW dealer to have it’s dilithium crystals recharged. Ok, there’s no Mr. Fusion powering this three-wheeled hybrid of a motorcycle/auto – Simple (which stands for “sustainable and innovative mobility product for low energy-consumption“) carries with it a 230cc CNG engine, reaching 60 km/h in about seven seconds & a top speed of 100 km/h on a range of 200 km.

The BMW Simple concept measures just 110 centimeters wide, and is meant to combine the protective qualities of an automobile, with the speed and maneuverability of a motorcycle. Both vehicles are on display now at the BMW Museum in Munich, you know, the place where 1940 didn’t happen.
