I love this car . My fave car ever .I wouldn't expect Bavarian giant to produce a car like this . It's a hybrid which means this car is powered by combination of staggering ,not that much , 1.5 liter gasoline engine and mind blowing, not that much either , electric engine .
You can drive up to 25 kilometers in E-Drive ,fully electric mode, without needing a gas but this time the car will engage into FWD mode .
I hat FWD cars ,sorry folks but BMW somehow managed to make a decent FWD car , I almost feel no torque steering . Good thing, I can choose other modes to drive the car either in RWD or AWD .
Don't be fooled by the numbers this car puts out more than 360 HP with 0-100 km/h just 4.4 seconds . Impressive
Everyone is asking about the car , I mean everyone . People waive at you , look at the car from appreciation ,may be even confusion in an attempt to get a picture of what kind of car it is .
The car looks like a model out of this world ,literally .Scissor doors are marvelous , I thought these were too gaudy but honestly not , they suit on the car. Speaking of doors they are longer than regular cars and conventional doors would look very ordinary for this particular car to me . You need 55 cm to securely open the doors without hitting the objects .
Interior isn't exciting as exterior but I love it too . LED gauges, engine modes , perfect A/C system are very neatly decorated ,I mean designed

Fuel economy is not letting you down either , in Sports mode depending on the traffic and your driving habits it can rise up to 12 liters per 100 kilometers driven but Comfort mode is just around 7.7 lt/100 km
You can charge the batteries using plug in but you can also charge the batteries using Sport Mode and regenerative braking in Comfort , ECO PRO or Sport .These, however,not the most efficient ways to charge the batteries

I forgot to mention , laser lights whose range is staggering up to 600 meters are available as an option too . They do work in high beams only though

Kudos to BMW and designers for making a great car like this

 

I applaud BMW for this car. It is adventurous, stylish and everything that it's more practical i3 sib is not. It truly is an accessible concept car that I admire
every time I see one though some of the styling elements are not quite as appealing to me as a few of the competitors I'd definitely be test driving if I was buying in this price range

 

I totally agtree with you on that score. I love the i8. A stunning motorcar.
I think once I'd sat in it I wouldn't want to get out again.

 

Mind you the new AM DB11 has got my eyes.
