BMW i8 A perfect pair

The Coupe

An extraordinary vision of the future, the BMW i8 Coupe emphasizes performance dynamics in four-seater form.

The Roadster

The two-seat BMW i8 Roadster shares similar dimensions with the Coupe, while sporting a cruise-ready retractable soft top.

Impressive, engaging interiors.

Efficient, comfortable, and sporty: the BMW i8 models are wonders of interior design. Heated front seats, upholstered with leather and environmentally conscious materials, perfectly complement the standard Carbon Fiber Interior Trim.

Cockpit control.

Everything a driver desires is within your reach. Ergonomically oriented tactile controls, plus a standard 8.8" touchscreen display and the intuitive BMW iDrive system, place you in complete control of your high-performance plug-in hybrid.

AN UNFORGETTABLE 

DRIVE

The BMW i8 is purpose-built to harness incredible hybrid power – and crafted to deliver a drive like nothing else.

Instant Torque

BMW i8 models draw their revolutionary power from a 141 hp synchronous electric motor located in the front of the vehicle, under the hood.

Lasting Power

A 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo engine, positioned over the rear axle, works together with the motor for a combined output of 369 hp.

Body Balance

The placement of motor, engine, and lithium-ion batteries in the center tunnel give the i8 models a lower center of gravity – and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

Carbon fiber construction.

Sustainable Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) – with the strength of steel at half the weight – is an integral part of the BMW i8, providing body rigidity and aerodynamic efficiency.

Take Charge

It's easier than ever to keep your BMW i8 at full capacity. Charge at home with a range of options – or maintain battery levels on the go.

Recharge

Getting maximum performance from your i8 Coupe or i8 Roadster is as simple as catching a charge. The lithium ion battery can be charged from completely flat to full in about three hours – and faster if you charge as you go.

Maintain Power

BMW i8 models include regenerative braking technology. When braking or coasting, the electric motor couples with the drivetrain and acts as a generator, transforming kinetic energy into battery power.

Maximize Range

Say goodbye to range anxiety. The innovative hybrid power of the BMW i8 allows for up to 370 miles of driving before needing to refuel or recharge.
