2014 BMW i8
2014 BMW i8: the German
automaker vision of a high performance hybrid. This is what the future
looks like. We can get behind a 3.0-liter inline-6 gasoline engine the
form where the BMW traditionally excels joined with an electric motor
for stop-start fuel efficiency, especially when both devices are
combining to make 349 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. 2014 i8
will be able to overturn from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds retrieving
78 mpg, so that the company claims.
It will also be able to motor vehicle up
to 22 miles solely on electricity. Sounds like a pretty good future for
us. Lightweight design helps to bring such lofty performance within
reach, in particular an aluminium chassis and extensive use of
carbon-fibre-reinforced bars within the passenger cabin. If the
production of i8 follows the concept, its wheelbase being only slightly
longer than a BMW M3 sedan, but it will be 8 inches shorter overall and
also 3 inches wider. It must also be weighed 650 pounds less than M3.
