The 2011 BMW 7 Series Active Hybrid is a machine perfectly crafted to give you the ultimate driving experience.
The beauty is in the details. A burly 455-hp V8 engine is the valiant heart of the Active Hybrid, able to overcome any challenge. And whenever the Anti-lock Brakes with Dynamic Stability Control are engaged, kinetic energy is stored in the 120-volt lithium ion battery which gives this vehicle the name “Active Hybrid.” This combination offers you the finest in both power and fuel efficiency.
And that’s only the beginning. Inside the 7 Series Active Hybrid you will find heated 20-way power-adjustable front seats, which even have subtle massage action and ventilation. Climate control with four distinct zones makes everyone’s driving experience the greatest possible. Included on the 7 Series Active Hybrid is an advanced computer which keeps you up-to-date with traffic and the operating conditions of your car. It also sports a 16-speaker sound system with an auxiliary input for MP3 players, an HD radio receiver, and an “entertainment server” with a 12 GB hard drive.
But it doesn’t end there. Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to make calls safely, hands-free, with voice-recognition technology. Additionally, BMW’s Advanced Safety System has sensors to ensure that airbags are deployed only when necessary.
With a cutting-edge engine and superior standards of comfort and safety, the new BMW 7 Series Active Hybrid is the automobile to take you into 2011 and beyond.
