THE BMW i8 (BMW 2015) is ready to revolutionize the
vehicle class of BMW brand. As the first sports car with the consumption and
emission values of a compact car, the strength of the plug-in hybrid lies,
among other factors, in the perfect synchronization of electric motor and
combustion engine, making it apparent in maximum efficiency and dynamics on the
road. The BMW i8 is the first sports car that accelerates the zeitgeist.
The BMW i8 embodies the
accomplished vision of a modern and sustainable sports car, through its overall
concept. The highly emotive design instantly shows which qualities the BMW i8
has to offer. Yet is doesn’t rely entirely on its sports car character. Its
aesthetics also pursue functional aims: more aerodynamics for maximum
efficiency.
The story
Just as every great pioneering
achievement has its own story. For the BMW i8, the story begins in 2008 with
the launch of Project i – and with no lesser objective than the reinvention of
urban mobility. Just one year later, the BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics concept
showed what a technology leader geared fully toward energy saving can look
like.
This was the basis that gave rise
to the BMW Concept i8, which demonstrated in near-production-ready form where
the development would lead. All available BMW Efficient Dynamics technologies
were already united within this vehicle, an intelligent lightweight concept had
been implemented, and the idea of a sports car for the future was already
detectable.
Safety
A safety concept has been
developed for the BMW i8 which is perfectly tailored to the vehicle. The
high-strength carbon passenger cell not only protects passengers, but also
safeguards the high-voltage battery located between the two parts of the Drive
module against external influences. Innovative BMW ConnectedDrive Driver
Assistance systems help the driver to remain aware of what’s going on around
them and to react correctly in any given situation. And if problems arise, a
wide range of interconnected services ensure that you remain mobile at all
times.
