Road Test: 2019 BMW 745e

The 2019 BMW 745e combines the inline, 280-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder with an 111-horsepower eDrive electric motor and a 10.3 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack to deliver a potent 389 total horsepower. That’s good for a 4.9-second zero-to-60 sprint.

Cars From The Past, Which Were Ahead Of Their Time

In 1983, Volvo was on a mission. The idea was to create a vehicle that weighed less than 1,500 pounds, could sit two people safely, and achieve at least 58 miles per gallon, fuel economy numbers that were unheard of. It was part of the automaker’s Lightweight Component Project. The resulting model was the LCP 2000.
