THE POWER OF PROGRESS.
Progress accepts no compromise. Progress explores the limits of
possibility – and exceeds them. The result, in this case, is a vision
of the future that can be seen today in the shape of the BMW i8. This
is a thoroughbred sports car that delivers a truly outstanding driving
experience. And yet, at the same time, its BMW EfficientDynamics
technology, with BMW eDrive and the BMW EfficientLightweight
concept, means that it also offers fuel economy that can rival that of
a small car. Experience one of the most progressive sports cars of its
time. The BMW i8.

BMW EFFICIENT LIGHTWEIGHT VEHICLE CONCEPT.

When innovation is your guiding principle, unprecedented creativity is inevitable. The
BMW EfficientLightweight concept applied to the BMW i8 was conceived from the very
beginning to meet the demands of a hybrid sports car. Its innovative LifeDrive architecture
comprises two parts, each precisely tailored to fit their respective requirements. The
aluminium body – or Drive module – contains the lithium-ion high-voltage battery and all
the other drivetrain components front and rear. In between these is the passenger cell, or
Life module. This is built in high-strength carbon (CFRP), a material with ideal properties
for the innovative vehicles from BMW i: extreme stability, ultra-light weight and a degree of
flexibility that allows an unprecedented degree of design freedom. The result is a vehicle
that delivers unique driving pleasure coupled with exceptional economy.

POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT – BMW eDRIVE.

Thinking ahead means getting ahead – and also cutting fuel consumption. An electric motor,
a lithium-ion high-voltage battery and an advanced energy management system make up
the innovative BMW eDrive technology package. The 96kW (131hp) electric motor at the
front axle delivers its peak torque of 250Nm with just a light touch of the accelerator. Together
with the 1.5-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and
170kW (231hp) at the rear axle, the BMW i8 accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.4 seconds.
Combined fuel economy of only 2.1 litres per 100km1 is also possible. That’s what happens
when the best of two powerful drive systems join forces to create an innovative plug-in hybrid –
and a driving experience never before experienced in this form.

BREATHTAKING DRIVING DYNAMICS.

Perfect balance is right here, waiting to be discovered – and experienced.
The BMW i8 is ideally balanced, with the axle load split 50:50 front to rear.
A particularly low centre of gravity increases agility even further. Outside
town, the BMW i8 can unleash its full power, with four-wheel drive propelling
it rapidly to 250km/h and, depending on driving style, within a range of
around 600km1, 2. The BMW i8 switches to all-electric drive at the touch
of a button for a top speed of 120km/h – silently and with zero emissions3.
This is no ordinary car, as the extraordinary driving experience proves.

AERODYNAMIC AESTHETICS.
To leave the wind behind, simply relinquish all resistance. The fluid lines and flat
silhouette of the BMW i8 create a fascinately dynamic impression, even at a standstill.
Everything about this car is designed for aerodynamic perfection, paired with the
highest aesthetic standards. Witness the almost closed kidney grille, the sweeping
lines of the singularly dynamic exterior design and the handle-free “scissor” doors.
There are also strongly expressive LED headlights with extended features such as
special light distribution for motorway driving. These are additionally available, on
request, with laser lighting. This technology, developed first for the BMW i8, gives
particularly bright, white light and increased range for remarkably effective road
illumination. At the same time, laser lighting consumes only a fraction of the energy
used by conventional headlights. And even a cursory glance reveals a compelling
vision of the future – today.

EXCEPTIONAL MATERIALS.
When innovation is a core principle, it can be found everywhere you look. With
the BMW i, this is apparent from a casual glance at the distinctive scissor doors
through to scrutiny of even the smallest detail. Indeed, each individual piece
of material used is far ahead of its time. The carbon fibre reinforced plastic of
the passenger cell, for instance, has superb safety properties and, weighing
about  per cent less than steel, also makes the BMW i exceptionally efficient.
The leather in the car is tanned with olive leaf extract, combining sustainability
with an exquisite feel that renders the high quality immediately tangible. Thus,
the progressive character of the BMW i emerges anew on every drive and
engages all the senses.

INNOVATIVE INTERIOR.
An exterior designed to perfection is a compelling interior in every way. The
inside of the BMW i takes its cue from the fluid, dynamic exterior with a reprise
of the layered surfaces that underpin the unique style of this car. Every feature
in the cockpit is systematically focused on the driver, allowing total immersion
in the intensely rewarding experience behind the wheel. The fully digital, three-
dimensional Control Display, for example, presents everything the driver needs
to know – such as speed, range, charge status and route – in high-resolution
clarity. At the same time, ConnectedDrive Services ensure flawless connectivity
with the outside world at all times – demonstrating, yet again, how the BMW i
is venturing into new and uncharted technological territory.
