"The groundbreaking BMW i8 is running with the fuel consumption of a family car, but drives like a supercar."

When the BMW i8 was first introduced, it was found with intrigue and recognition. This was the first time a large manufacturer had an upscale, sporty coupe released with a hybrid power system, and its wild glances separate it from everything that had come before.
It is difficult to categorize a car, but most people see it as a sports car, a term which his glowing acceleration from 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds tends to support. this is working by a 228bhp 1.5-liter petrol engine in combination with a 129 hp electric motor possible, as well as possible to ensure a careful design so clean through the air, the i8 cuts.

If you are enough discipline to the i8 Bentley Continental humiliating avoid performance, with, Eco Pro mode unlocked matched a possible 134.5mpg fuel consumption to CO2 emissions of 49g / km, but our experience has seen a rather less remarkable 45mpg in everyday life. Since it's a plug-in hybrid, the i8 batteries must be plugged into a charging station or home socket and be fully charged in about three hours. The driving range on electricity alone is 23 miles.
The i8 guaranteed heads in and out, to turn every time, thanks to its show-stopping doors. This may be a little awkward to use at the grocery store parking lots or other areas with space constraints. Once inside you will find that the interior design comes close to matching the extravagance of the exterior. There is plenty of equipment and the inhabitants of some beautiful materials and textures are surrounded.
If, effort between the electric motor is divided into movement that turns the front wheels, and the gasoline engine that educates the forces. The two are linked by a battery located right in the middle of the car structural "backbone". The battery is replenished partly in movement with regenerative braking. The distribution of the 1.5-ton weight of the car is that it feels more planted to the road.
We wonder whether BMW not bother fitting may be a little of this weight saving rear seats. They are really just a symbolic gesture and more comfort for luggage than people. We want more of this space were used, the boat could make greater
This rather i8 Rules for use as an environmentally friendly family car -. If this was your plan, you would be better served by the Porsche Panamera S Hybrid e-a car, to buy the as the £ 100,000 + BMW is significantly less expensive, although both are exempt from the London Congestion Charge.

batteries and self-diagnostic systems of the BMW i8 covered by a long warranty, helping to create peace, mind buyers who have never had a car that belongs. It also provides reassurance as to the reliability of the many new technologies on board found
It is also difficult to assess i8 for crash safety. due to its professionalism, cost and relative scarcity, it has not been through Euro NCAP independent tests, nor is it likely, although it is not short on security features.
In summary, the i8 an expensive way to be environmentally friendly, and its uselessness limits its usefulness as a single car. But there is no denying its futuristic appeal and the driving experience truly electrifying.
