For years, the PR machine of BMW us crazy walk with teasers, conceptcars, and other trouble with regards to the i8. Now the thing is finally officially unveiled, and so it is time to call the what we really find.

So in a dark color looks the i8 still fairly sinister from actually. The silver copy which can also be found in the following gallery is just a little less attractive. Or not? Although BMW has not yet confirmed that there will also be an i8 Spyder does is that obvious. We have that car, after all, already seen as a concept car.

BMW is proud of the fact that the i8 has a low center of gravity that is located at 460 millimetres, measured from the road surface. The 1.5-liter TwinPower three-cylinder turbocharged engine and an electric motor together deliver 362 hp and 570 Nm that allows you to in 4.4 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h sprint. The top speed is 250 km/h.

Much more important at this green sports car is the fuel consumption. According to BMW, is the average fuel consumption is just 2.5 liters/100 km and CO2 emissions of 59 g/km is feasible. Thanks to the wide use of aluminum and CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic) is the weight limited to 1.490 pounds.
