Be one of very few to experience the thrill of driving BMW’s low-volume, quasi-exotic i8 fully loaded with navigation, leather-wrapped interior panels and upholstery, high-efficiency LED headlights, a fully digital instrument cluster, rain-sensing windshield wipers, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control that maintains a preset distance behind the vehicle ahead. This model comes with a full-color head-up display, a 360-degree camera system that provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings, and a pre-collision system. BMW’s “Efficient Dynamics” philosophy is in full force with this carbon-fiber-and-aluminum i8. Its mid-mounted turbocharged gasoline engine and electric-motor drivetrain requires only 357 horsepower to make it move like a V12 exotic! When set to E-drive, the i8 can cruise 15 miles solely on electric power at speeds up to 75 mph. A number of noise-attenuating features help keep wind and noise to a hush, creating a quiet cockpit perfect for enjoying the excellent Harman/Kardon audio system. The silence is broken once the throttle is jammed to the floor, an action that awakens the 3-cylinder turbocharged engine. A 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds will impress most critics, but it’s the unrelenting way the i8 delivers its power that is truly breathtaking. As for handling, the i8 delivers the kind of composure and balance befitting the car’s BMW heritage. The electrically assisted power steering is effortless and responsive. This exquisite vehicle takes the current BMW design aesthetic and adds a subtle dose of modernism by way of reusable materials, blue accents and clear contrasts. The i8 includes BMW’s i ConnectedDrive service that utilizes topography and traffic information to choose the most efficient navigation route. An exercise in ultra-contemporary design, the 2015 BMW i8 features expressive front and rear treatments that stretch wide and low to convey a supercar-like stance that is further emphasized by stylized LED headlights and a black translucent V-shaped element that extends back from the grille to the windshield. The BMW i8 dispenses with a B-pillar in favor of scissor-type doors that help facilitate access to the low-slung cockpit. Despite this futuristic appearance, virtually every design aspect serves a functional purpose. For instance, the hood vent works to promote cooling, while the split rear wing and front apron vents aid high-speed stability. At almost half the weight of steel, the i8’s carbon-composite body is every bit as strong, reinforcing crashworthiness while helping offset the added weight from the electric battery pack. A sophisticated all-wheel-drive system can route 100 percent of the i8’s power to its rear wheels, its front wheels or some combination of both, all depending on traction needs. Take this efficient, head-turning sports car for a spin and see for yourself ;) ♦️Premium 91 gas only❗️Please leave gas receipts in the center console.
