The plug-in hybrid i8 offers a total range of 330 miles and can go from zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds and is the first sports car built with sustainability in mind. Powered by a TwinPower Turbo engine that combines the efficiency of an all-electric motor for an exhilarating drive. Not only is the BMW i8 a thrill to drive but also something incredible to look at with a striking exterior and scissor doors. This sports car will turn heads in more than one way.
Moving forward BMW plans to make a full-electric BMW X3 and continue expanding the next generation of electric BMW's with iNEXT. iNEXT will be developed at BMW's Dingolfing plant while the BMW i3 and i8 will still be manufactured at the Leipzig plant.
