BMW has a long way to go with this car. Its ugly and underwhelming and not even ready for mass market. Usually production versions of concept cars are more tame, in looks and power output so don't hold your breath it only gets worse from here.

Not bad BMW, but Tesla Model S already beat i8 performance and probably the price tag as well. Too bad Tesla is only electric...
So is 94 MPG - electric MPG or some kind of combination MPG? |

The only problem with the i8 Spyder, for me, is to decide which one I like more, the Spyder or the Coupe? The next problem is, how do I order one?
Seriously love both of these cars. Could care less about the i3, but the futuristic/modern design on these cars is gorgeous. I hope the production version looks close to this in design. As far as performance, I'm not bothered. I'm sure it will drive, handle, and feel like a BMW. Not too long ago 0-60 in 5 seconds wasn't too shabby, and I bet this car will be quite sporty. It looks like a perfect car for a leisurely cruise "on the town" or road trip up the coast alongside the ocean. And it looks like NOTHING else on the road today and probably for some time. Great job BMW can't wait to own one of these. |
