The beautiful BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept was recently caught rolling around the streets of Berlin during a photo shoot. Bystanders managed to snap some photos and videos of the Vision ConnectedDrive for those of us that were there.

The Vision ConnectedDrive Concept shows “current and future methods of mobile networking in a particularly focused way.” The coupe version of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics, which will be known as the BMW i8, is scheduled to go into limited production in 2013 with prices starting around $250,000 a unit.

Refresher: Power for the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics prototype comes from a 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo diesel engine mated to a hybrid synchronous motor at the front axle and a full-hybrid engine at the rear axle. Jointly the system will produce an output of 328-hp. 0-60 mph comes in just 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. Fuel-economy is estimated at 63 mpg and the concept can provide 31 miles of zero-emissions driving. The production version of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics will go on sale in 2013.
