2014 BMW i8
2014 BMW i8: the German automaker vision of a high performance hybrid. This is what the future looks like. We can get behind a 3.0-liter inline-6 gasoline engine the form where the BMW traditionally excels joined with an electric motor for stop-start fuel efficiency, especially when both devices are combining to make 349 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. 2014 i8 will be able to overturn from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds retrieving 78 mpg, so that the company claims.
It will also be able to motor vehicle up to 22 miles solely on electricity. Sounds like a pretty good future for us. Lightweight design helps to bring such lofty performance within reach, in particular an aluminium chassis and extensive use of carbon-fibre-reinforced bars within the passenger cabin. If the production of i8 follows the concept, its wheelbase being only slightly longer than a BMW M3 sedan, but it will be 8 inches shorter overall and also 3 inches wider. It must also be weighed 650 pounds less than M3.

2012 BMW i8 Spyder Concept
BMW i8 SPYDER CONCEPT
Optical i8 follows the Spyder the path to the IAA 2009 has already embarked on the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept: The most important design feature is the flat body of the roadster, which seems to consist of several layers. Compared to the first study, the length is slightly shrunk to 4.48 meters, was dispensed onto the rear seat. In their place are now two e-scooter space. The previously exported from glass doors are now made of carbon and thus act in series closer. In bad weather a two-piece hardtop for protection.
The brand propeller is preparing to launch a complete range of electric vehicles. In addition to the small i3-free engine, BMW will have a true sports car equipped with a set thermal and electrical model we have already seen many times as a concept car.
The manufacturer specifies a standard value of three liters per 100 kilometers. Here also the approximately 30 kilometers are considered pure electric incurred only once during each trip. On the second hundred miles, consumption must be correspondingly higher. This minimized the thirst fails, set the i8 to light. The cabin is made of carbon, the bulk of the suspension components made of aluminum. A light weight is not the roadster with a curb weight of 1630 kg anyway.
After the cut, BMW now accepts the concept i8 the form of a convertible whose design recalls the windows fire the Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster. I8 The Spyder version differs only by its closed roof that is obviously lacking here.
We thus find a data sheet very similar to the concept i8 cut. Designed for two occupants, is powered by a thermal block gasoline 1.5-liter mid-rear mounted in position, developing 223 horsepower and 300 Nm sent to the rear wheels.
This is an electric motor under the hood results in front of the seats and in turn the front wheels with a power of 132 horsepower. By adding the internal combustion engine and electric motor back before, we obtain a total output of 354 hp and 550 Nm
The performances are slightly recessed from the i8 cut with a 0 to 100 km / hour in 5.0 seconds shot (against 4.6 seconds for the coupe). Maximum speed is still electronically limited 250 km / hour.
Consumption remains at a historically low level with 3.0 liters / 100 km combined cycle announced, less than a small city.
The BMW i8 Spyder will be unveiled at the end of April at least in the Beijing Motor Show. I bet that the German automaker is already planning a production version, not long after the arrival of the coupe in showrooms.
The i8 Spyder Concept is less of a view of a concrete Roadster model, but rather a look at the intermediate level of evolution of the eco-athlete. The launch is expected in two years, then as a coupe. Just one year before BMW will bring the small car i3 his first electric car to market. The city car will cost around 40,000 euros, the sports car feel should be more expensive.
2013 BMW i8 Concept
2013 BMW i8 Concept: The following is the latest auto concept from BMW Cars. That is 2011 BMW i8. At the front axle is the electric motor adopted from the BMW i3 Concept and modified for use in the BMW i8 Concept’s hybrid power train, while a 164 kW/220 hp turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine developing up to 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque drives the rear axle. Together, the two drive units take the vehicle to a governed top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
2011 BMW i8 Engine. Like the electric motor, the 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine was developed entirely in-house by the BMW Group and represents the latest state of the art in conventional engine design. Acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under five seconds combined with fuel consumption in the European cycle of under three litres per 100 kilometres (approx. 94 mpg imp) are figures currently beyond the capability of any vehicle powered by a combustion engine of comparable performance.
