Exactly a week before the official unveiling of the BMW i8, we can you now the first photos of this hybrid supercar show. As you can see, the gull wing doors have been preserved.

Four years, four years! So long BMW let us wait on the production version of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept in 2009, which debuted at the IAA in Frankfurt.

At the time, made BMW, in addition to electric motors, use of a three-cylinder diesel engine, but that is thankfully replaced by a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with 231 hp/320 Nm. The electric motor also provides a further 131 hp/250 Nm and in total, this i8 so 362 hp and 570 Nm.

How fast this car is? According to BMW, the i8 in less than four and a half seconds to 100 km/h sprint. The top speed is 250 km/h. If the fuel tank is full and the batteries are charged, you need about 500 km away. If you use the Eco Pro switch, you need to have 20% further can.

On september 10, will the BMW i8 officially revealed, but details of that disclosure are quite obscure. In the first instance, had a BMW about a unveiling at the IAA in Frankfurt, but there is now quite mysterious about done.
