BMW i8 Hybrid SPY SNAPS
The new BMW supercar has been snapped by spy photographers. Behind rose-tinted specs it’s a modern-day M1, but in truth it’s a very different kind of car. It should usher in the age of the clean supercar, with a hybrid drivetrain linking a small internal combustion engine (BMW has a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol unit on the way) and electric motors.
No official details are yet available, but rumours suggest the engine will provide a sub-5.0sec 0-100km/h time. Top speed is likely to be a typically Germanic 300km/h (limited), while fuel economy should be incredible. The hybrid technology, used alongside BMW’s impressive EfficientDynamics is set to do the trick.
