5 Reasons You Need the BMW i8 (if you have $135,700)
ONE The BMW i8 is the first plug-in hybrid sports car from BMW. Yes, hybrid like the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius. BMW has proven that hybrid does not have to mean boring! TWO The i8 has a carbon fiber passenger cell (tub). This makes the car lighter for better performance. THREE The i8 is not a full electric vehicle. It is a plug-in hybrid that uses a TwinPower Turbo engine to power the rear-axle and an electric motor for the front axle. FOUR The i8 uses laser light technology for the front headlights. FIVE Louis Vuitton designed a carbon-fiber luggage set to fit into the i8's cargo space.
