A muscle-bound supercar with a flair for environmental consciousness, the BMW i8 is not one for following the rulebook. It brazenly carves its own lane, forging ahead with one foot in the present and an eye on the future.
It's quite clear that we a Rick Hill BMW are seriously smitten by it. Will it elicit a similar reaction from you? Make that determination by watching the video review below:
Beneath this speedster's snout, a turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with both an electric motor and a 7.1-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. All told, overall output for the i8 stands at a herculean 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque.
The real showstopper here, however, is the i8's otherworldly fuel economy. Not only does it offer 15 miles of all-electric range, it also boasts 28 mpg combined with the gas engine in use. Total range weighs in at whopping 330 miles. Like we said: it's really in its own lane.
