BMW i8S - 500hp 100 year anniversary car based on i8 - And 630hp M8 rumoured
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com http://www.autobild.de/artikel/bmw-i...6-5524821.html A 100 year anniversary edition based on the i8 built in 100 examples. Stronger e-motor and 2l 4 cyl instead of the 1,5l 3 cyl engine. Originally planned to be developed by the M division, but now headed by BMW AG and ex Ferrari man Roberto Fedeli. Naming still debated, could be i8S, i8CS or M100 And a 630hp twin turbocharged I6 version rumoured for 2018-2019, possibly the M8 Quote:

The auto translation is pretty funny. Half of the article is incomprehensible. Like this: Quote:

I've already advised my dealer principal that I wish to order one of these as soon as it becomes available for pre-order.
If you can get on that limited order list, that is!

I've done the same and gotten on my dealers list, if and when an M or S version does become a 2016 reality. Time will tell. |

BMW, like most manufacturers, has a very long lead time. So the company is probably working on the next two successors to this car, in addition to the cabriolet/roadster.
When I bought my 2006 650i, I suspect BMW already had decided to bob the tail and replace the 4.8 litre engine with a supercharged 4.4 litre. And probably had the 2016 styling mods already on the books. The recent laser light display at CES (on another thread) shows BMW, like everyone else, is already thinking into the 2020s.

Sounds like an interesting car, but out of my price range. It will need a super capacitor for it to have truly great track performance because extreme braking produces too much energy for the battery to accept and the result is a slow down after a lap or two.

Wow I'm salivating right now by the thought of a BMW 500hp and 516 foot-pound tq hybrid AWD super car.

I hope this does come out so we can move on from all the comments complaining about how BMW can't make a car to compete with the R8's of the world.

I thought Scott swore up and down that the i and M divisions would never intermingle.

Stunning. In the last month the i8 has really been growing more and more desirable to me. Now this. Speechless.
