From front to back, the BMW i8 is dedicated to reducing drag. The streamflow design of the vehicle's rear wing provides significant downforce all the way up to its top speed of 155 mph. EfficientDynamic technology allows vents to open and close to offer cooling, further reduce drag coefficient, and improve the vehicle's overall aerodynamics while the front Air Curtains channel airflow through the back vents to cool the TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder engine.
As a plug-in hybrid with eDrive, the BMW i8 gets up to 76 MPGe fuel efficiency, far beyond conventional sports cars with comparable performance. And next to other plug-in hybrids, its dynamic sportiness is truly unmatched.
In the BMW i8, energy can be repurposed while driving to charge the battery from thrust, braking, or directly from the gas engine. It can also be recovered whenever you're hungry for an extra boost of power.
The BMW i8 is an icon of progress, marking an extraordinary evolution of The Ultimate Driving Machine.® As an innovative plug-in hybrid, it uses eDrive technology to combine the efficiency of an all-electric motor and the power of a TwinPower Turbo engine for an exhilarating driving experience that's every bit BMW.
The Driving Experience Control switch on the center console offers various driving modes. The standard COMFORT mode offers a balance between sporty performance and fuel efficiency. SPORT mode features the ultra-intense boost function provided by the electric motor. ECO PRO mode supports a more efficient, optimized driving style that can be used in both all-electric mode and hybrid mode. Finally, eDRIVE mode is purely electric, offering a max range of up to 15 miles and a max speed of 75 mph for a totally tailpipe emission-free ride.
Two and a half hours. That's how long it takes the BMW i8 to fully charge. This charging technology can be found at one of 28,000+ U.S. public charging facilities or from a Level 2 charging station installed at home.
BMW M Laptimer is a tool for analyzing data on racetracks and automatically calculating lap times. The app records precise BMW sensor data directly from every BMW model fitted with BMW Apps.
For a limited time, the BMW i8 will be available in a Protonic Red exterior finish with Frozen Grey metallic accents. The interior features exclusive carbon-fiber and ceramic trim.
When a car looks this fast, it better live up to its appearance. The BMW i8 does exactly this with its innovative electric motor that sits on the front axle and the TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder engine that drives the rear axle. When combined, they deliver a total output of 357 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque, and can reach 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds.
Part of reinventing the sports car is rethinking its entire architecture. For BMW i, this led to the creation of the LifeDrive architecture, a revolutionary construction designed to deliver impeccable performance and superior dynamics, all while offering near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Plus, lightweight materials in the construction help make this plug-in hybrid vehicle as aerodynamic and sporty as possible. Its two-part structure uses aluminum and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) for their rigidity and extreme lightness as opposed to steel.
The long wheelbase, short overhangs, precise lines, and sweeping silhouette give the appearance that the BMW i8 is surging forward even when it is standing still. The scissor doors of the BMW i8 provide an undeniable emotional and sporty allure that make it truly one-of-a-kind.
Prestige is big at BMW and so is the 2017 model year. Highly respected for pronouncing every detail, new purposeful features join the list of standard equipment. On select models, matte chrome exterior trim, new LED fog lights, Adaptive Suspension Dampers, a Wireless Cell Phone Charging Pad, WiFi Hot Spot, and the all-new iDrive Technology interface are all newly standard. The iDrive Infotainment System has been upgraded with new advanced technology. Enhanced Bluetooth connectivity and USB are greatly improved and the convenience of Apple CarPlay is now available. Select models in various BMW Series get two new engine choices. An all-new TurboCharged powerplant producing more robust power is newly available. In chosen BMW Series, some model variants have made revisions replacing previous models with new ones that carry a brand new name. A new Driver's Package joins some high-performance models. Because the top speed has been increased, one full day of Driver Performance Training is offered from BMW. The BMW Navigation System receives an update raising it to the most advanced version. On select hybrid models, a larger volume battery is added with approximately 45% more usable storage capacity returning an impressive 114 miles on one full charge. Select models are no longer offered with an Active Steering (4-Wheel Steering) System. However, a new optional Sports Package is offered with a brand new distinct steering wheel design. Included in the popular Special Package is the Protronic Red Edition which features unique paint, exclusive body trim, a sharp wheel design, and full custom seating. Worthy of note, a limited number of the Special Edition 201 Competition Package is being offered which will boost horsepower from 425 to 444hp. Select models grow slightly in length, yet keep body weight down by using a strong lightweight material such as Magnesium and Aluminum. This achieves a substantial weight savings of 135-pounds which also further improves fuel efficiency. In conclusion, 2017 celebrates an exciting and intelligent all-new BMW model. Always innovated, forever trusted, the BMW family speaks a vast and brilliant language in 2017.
