BMW, or at least some sources of the German manufacturer, revealed today the first photos of the brand new 5-Series ActiveHybrid Concept, a new car which previews the hybrid version of the 2011 5-Series.

Set to make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show, the new car carries a 6-cylinder petrol engine but also a 40 Kw electric motor. Also, the car comes with a start-stop system as well as regenerative braking function which enable the recapture of energy while braking. Other details are not available yet but they will soon be released, so stay tuned!
