BMW has unveiled an updated BMW i3 concept and BMW i8 Concept Spyder. The good news: After successful initial testing of the vehicle concept, the decision for a series-production vehicle was quickly made. Also, The BMW i8 Concept Spyder proves that you should never underestimate the potential of electricity.
Take a look at those amazing new photos and video with BMW i3 Concept and BMW i8 Concept. The BMW i8 Concept Spyder price is over $100,000, according to cars experts.
The BMW i8 Concept Spyder is the next step in the evolution of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept. The result: The most progressive and innovative sports car of its time. Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept – fitted over its front axle – with a high-performance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW/220 hp and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the rear. Working in tandem, they allow the two drive systems to display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car.
Acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under five seconds combined with fuel consumption in the European cycle of 2.7 litres per 100 kilometres (approx. 104 mpg imp) are figures currently beyond the capability of any vehicle powered by a combustion engine of comparable performance. Thanks to the eDrive technology with its large lithium-ion battery, which can be charged from a domestic power supply, the BMW i8 Concept can travel up to 35 kilometres (approx. 20 miles) on electric power alone. Added to which, the 2+2-seater offers enough space for four people, giving it a high level of everyday practicality.
