The BMW i8 is ready to revolutionise its vehicle class. As the first sports car with the consumption and emission values of a compact car.

The strength of the plug-in hybrid lies, among other factors, in the perfect synchronisation of electric motor and combustion engine, which makes itself apparent in maximum efficiency and dynamics on the road.

The first sports car that even accelerates the zeitgeist.

The i8 remains largely unchanged since its launch in 2014. For 2017, BMW has added a new Protonic Red model, essentially a design riff on the existing i8. With red exterior paint, carbon-fiber interior trim, unique black seats with red contrast stitching, and a ceramic-look shifter, it makes an even bolder statement than existing models’ monochromatic color range.

This is a special edition, so if you’re reading this, it’s probably too late to snag one
