According to a statement made by someone within the German manufacturer which said that the new BMW Megacity will have a slightly big price tag than the Nissan Leaf, we assume that the new electric model known as Megacity will have a price of more than €30,000 considering Leaf’s prices.

Even the German official within BMW decided to keep its identity secret, we find a key detail on the new BMW Megacity which is expected to debut somewhere in 2013. Even this information is not very welcome as anyone would want a more affordable price, the German innovative model may offer something more than we expect, something to justify this price.

Tagged as a premium innovative model, the BMW Megacity is expected to surprise us through its technology while under the hood the four-seater will offer an electric unit able to develop 170 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. The model will also impose through lightweight and performance.

BMW released the first sketch of the compact electric model that will result from the Megacity project. Expected in 2013, the model will adopt an electric engine on the rear axle. About the BMW Megacity project has been written alot but no one was able to pinpoint the design direction that will take the Bavarians for the small electric models. Today, the Munich manufacturer has decided to give media and fans a first idea of how the new Megacity will look like, the compact electric expected to begin on the streets in 2013.

The sketch published by the Germans is only a teaser announcing the radical ecological lines of the model. The image betrays the shape of a small van with a body line that betrays sports accents.

For now, the Bavarians were quite greedy in detail, the only information announcing a four-seater model powered by an electric engine positioned on the rear axle, like the current Smart Electric Drive. To enhance the efficiency and the performance, BMW Megacity will use carbon fiber to reduce the total mass.
