7 series hybrid hot weather testing in Death Valley
This BMW 7-series hybrid prototype test car arrived in Death Valley last night to begin hot weather testing, in what is likely one of the final phases of testing.

nice, i saw regular 7 series in person and it looked pretty good. Really liked the angel eyes at night, it looked totally different from what i have seen on other series cars.

Why do they put the "hybrid" stickers on?

The hybrid sticker is just there to help engineers differentiate a hybrid 7 series from a normal one. The hybrid 7 series will debut in Frankfurt this fall, named as the 755i hDrive. BMW is starting the hybrid line with the 7 series and the X6(in November). Other hybrids such as the 5 series, 555i hDrive, will follow later on in 2010.

The exhaust is right behind the chrome tip finishers. There is sort of a cage with lots of holes around the exhaust and the tips to allow for air and exhaust fumes to enter/exit. This keeps the tips cleaner and cooler!
