A widebody i8 GT3 for the track? (Render)
What do you think of this render?
 The render, which was completed by artist Jon Sibal, is dubbed the i8 GT3 and features a radically modified version of the road going i8. The race version of the i8 features a wide body kit, allowing for wider, stickier tyres. Downforce is provided by a massive rear wing and additional carbon fibre airflow elements laced along the front fascia. While BMW has no official plans to race the plug-in hybrid, this render makes us think BMW should definitely consider putting the i8 on the track. **I like it quite a bit; gives it a bit of an M1 feel:

Completely defeats the whole point of the i8. But I suspect one day we'll have electric race cars. When battery life and problems relating to excessive heat are worked out.

Visually, it looks good from that angle. Would like to see a rear and side view too of the render.
Could be something akin to the planned i8s perhaps. A meaner, aggressive i8. |
