This is one of the first model of the BMW line i, is based on theVision EfficientDynamics Concept Car unveiled in 2009, opened a new era of car design in Germany.
BMW Concept Car I8 expected to go into production and available on the market in 2013.
Concept I8 systems use electric motors as i3 Car Concept, but is mounted on the front instead of rear, combined with the gas engine3-cylinder turbocharged 1.5L (instead of diesel as in the VisionEfficientDynamics Concept) is located in the rear, for a capacity of220 kW and torque of 300 Nm (221 lb.ft).
Gasoline engine delivers power directly to the rear, through a semi-automatic gearbox, while the electric motor in the front using two-level gear.
Taken together, hybrid engine system with a capacity of 349 kW and maximum torque of 550 nanometers (405.6 lb.ft), for a coupeto accelerate from 0-100km / h in just 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 250km / h.
I8 BMW says the car has fuel consumption of just 2.7 lit/100km.
Electric motor of the vehicle I8 energy by a large lithium-ion batterysupplied. Full charge time is 1 hour 45 minutes, with power in homes, vehicles powered by electricity capacity in just 35 km.
BMW said that the arrangement of the electric motor and gasoline engine in front and above create the weight distribution front / rear50/50 optimal, but the use of lightweight materials, such as aluminum in chassis and plastic reinforced with carbon fiber(CFRP) in the body, making a net weight of the car at only 1.48tons.
I8 car length 4.632mm, 1.280mm wide and 1.955mm high, is expected to officially debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show inSeptember next.
