Picture it! The BMW i3 and i8

VideoassistentenFebruary 8, 2012

The i3 concept is set to be BMW’s first mass-produced fully electric car, and has been designed with tomorrow’s urban traffic already in mind. The BMW i8 concept is a plug-in hybrid that embodies the vision of a modern, sustainable sports car. The i8 combines the modified electric engine from the i3 (front axle) with a 164 kW/300 Nm three-cylinder high-performance gasoline engine (rear axle). The dynamic duo are due out in late 2012 or early 2013.
