Wallpaper BMW i8 Coupe (2014)
CAR GARAGE | BMW i8 Coupe (2014) | We've seen dramatic coupe this at Various auto shows, first at Frankfurt in 2009 and now, most recently, at the 2012 New York Auto Show. The BMW i8 concept has evolved over the years, but still sports many design elements have little chance That at production. Score one for the BMW design team. The front fascia Appears remarkably similar to the concept's, Including the aerodynamic-looking vent in the nose of the car. Thankfully, the elegant sweep of the C-pillar, the which extends over the rear fenders and onto the trunk, where it doubles as a rear wing, is also present. BMW has Stated That lightweight materials, Such as aluminum and carbon fiber, will constitute a large percentage of the i8's structure.
Beneath the striking bodywork is an electric motor driving the front wheels, while a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine is coupled to the rears. The combined output of 354 horsepower is enough to hustle this 2 +2 coupe from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, According to BMW's calculations. Capable of running purely on electric power for short-distance estimated at 20 to 30 miles-the i8 should be capable of returning fuel economy of roughly 80 mpg. A roadster variant has also been Revealed, but BMW maintains it's merely a design study, a working convertible top was not factored into the initial concept.
