The All-New BMW i8 Sports Car

BMW is known for creating powerful vehicles and always pushing the limits of innovation. The new BMW i8 Sports Car proves how far this quality manufacturer has come. In fact, this sports car is one of the most innovative vehicles on the market because it proves that high-performance vehicles don’t need to use a large amount of fuel. Drivers traveling around Long Island or Queens can take the time to enjoy the thrills of this dazzling sports car without the need to stop to refill the tank or worry about environmental impact.

Extreme Power from a Hybrid Engine

The thing that makes the i8 Sports Car so intriguing is its ability to offer extreme power despite the hybrid engine. Looking inside this performance vehicle will show you the 3-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine as well as an eDrive electric motor that works with a 7.1-kilowatt battery pack. With the 3-cylinder engine producing 228 horsepower and the electric motor generating 129 horsepower, you can anticipate getting 357 horsepower combined. Expect 420 pound-feet of torque, meaning that this hybrid sports car offers numbers and performance like those expected from a gas-only model. The unique design of the BMW i8 is perfect for drivers looking to combine power and fuel efficiency, and each engine actually works with its own transmission. The six-speed automatic includes paddle shifters on the steering wheel, just as drivers expect from a BMW sports car. The electric motor takes advantage of a two-speed automatic. As with any other BMW model, the i8 sports car offers drivers four different driving modes to get the most out of any driving experience. This means you can seamlessly alternate between COMFORT, SPORT, ECO Pro, and eDrive modes to maximize fuel efficiency or performance.

Aerodynamic Design for Improved Performance

To improve both performance and fuel efficiency, BMW engineers created the i8 with aerodynamics in mind. Every single aspect of this sports car exudes aerodynamic design from the streamflow to the low and forward body. Engineers created a wedge shape where the sidewall connects to the roofline to help channel air so it falls exactly between the roofline and character line, leading to the rear spoiler. While the upward-opening doors don’t necessarily contribute to the aerodynamics of the BMW i8, they do make the sports car even more unique.

BMW Customization through Different Worlds

Drivers of the i8 Sports Car can take the time to select exactly which model they want. The standard Mega World comes with the Mega Carum Spice Grey leather interior as well as cloth, with the upholstery and wheels changing slightly as you move up through the Giga World, Tera World, and Pure Impulse World. Giga World adds LED headlights that include cornering lights, while Tera World adds an exclusive trim, headliner, and seat belt. For the top-of-the-line luxury experiences BMW drivers expect, opt for the Pure Impulse World, which has all the features of previous models, plus upholstery in full-perforated leather.

BMW Luxury and Comfort for all Occasions

Despite being designed to combine power and efficiency, the BMW i8 Sports Car doesn’t lack any of the features expected of a BMW. As always with BMW, you get what you pay for, and this means high-end luxury features, such as the sporty scissor doors, BMW i-Remote App with the Navigation Professional System, concierge services, HD radio, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a top-of-the-line harman/kardon® sound system with 11 speakers or surround sound. The BMW i8 truly offers the perfect blend of luxury, performance, and fuel efficiency for drivers throughout Long Island and Queens, NY.
