In general you can summarize the BMW i8 mentioning some of its salient features. In the sprint from 0 to 100 km / h it is as fast as a BMW M5, it takes just 4.4 seconds. But when it comes to saving fuel it is as efficient as anyone else and can travel up to 35 kilometers in electric mode and presuming (as official approval for plug-in hybrids) of its 2.5 liters / 100 kilometers.Specification BMW i8 "The most innovative car we've ever created" This sport will also feature an aluminum chassis and a safety cage and body assembled from aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic materials. To understand how far has reached the "obsession" with the BMW i8 Lightening enough to mention that the structure carrying the dashboard is magnesium.A hybrid all-wheel drive and 362 horsepower,
The BMW i8 plug-in hybrid leverages its mechanics to develop their performance. We talk about a sport that makes the 0 to 100 km / h in 4.4 seconds. It will have a, a modest heat engine - but surprisingly powerful - supercharged three-cylinder 1500 cm3 which will support the electricity. In combined mode we have 362 hp intelligently distributed on all four wheels, the heat engine acting on the rear train with 231 hp and electric on the front with 131 hp.The electric motor develops 131 hp and has the ability to propel the vehicle without consuming a drop of fuel. The estimated autonomy in pure electric mode, drive, is 35 kilometers without the heat engine into operation can reach a top speed of 120 km / h. From there you can select different driving modes. COMFORT optimizes efficiency and dynamism, ECO PRO optimizes energy consumption and SPORT develops all the features you have under the right pedal. In SPORT mode retention, and therefore energy recovery in braking and deceleration increases considerably and dynamic damping control (DDC) is activated.The aerodynamics of the BMW i8 is optimized to achieve a very low coefficient of 0.26 according to BMW. But above all it is optimized lightening structures and body, to the point that only weighs 1,490 kilograms, a very decent figure for a hybrid that has to bear the added weight of the lithium ion battery.As seen in these first official photographs, the design of the BMW i8 has faithfully maintained the features of the prototype BMW i8 Concept we already knew. Series will feature alloy wheels 20 ", although we can optionally be configured with a specific set of carbon fiber wheels.
