BMW i8

For the next couple of weeks I will be on the new topic of cars. 

So many of you may know this new car as the one that starred in the new mission impossible movie. The BMW i8, and there is a lot more than what meets the eye in this amazing looking car. When they reviled it in 2011, BMW had really outdone themselves with their new ‘i series’, they have made the this modern hybrid series into something of it’s own. Although this car is just a concept the road ready car is just around the conner to hit the market. The specs are something of it’s own and the design puts it in a different league all together. 

Because this car has a very futuristic look to it and is just a concept you many may think that it won’t enter the market anytime soon. Well, this new series is only a couple years out from production and will be ready to hit the market. This hybrid super car will be ready to hit the market with a price that will easily exceed the $140,000 price range, putting it in a place where not everyone can have one. BMW does expect 10,000 of these cars to be sold yearly from the release date. This futuristic super car will be the first of its kind to hit the market putting them way ahead of other companies. 

This car has specs that not many cars on the market has and technology that will change every other car that hits the market. The hybrid sports car has the a fuel consumption of approximately three liters for every 100 kilometers (94 mpg). Because it is a sports car it has the ability to go from 0 - 100 km/h in under five seconds (62 mph). This car also has a battery that can be charged out of a domestic home and can travel up to 35 kilometers (20 miles) on electricity alone. With room for four seats this car also gives the nice ability of everyday practicality. Another spec that BMW has put on this car is the new laser head lights. This may sound a little lame, but these lights are like no other. The are about a thousand times more intense then the regular LED head lights, half the electrical consumption of the LED lights and, is very pleasant to the eye. All these new ideas BMW has put on to the i8 concept will make it one of the most efficient cars on the road. 

The i8 concept also has the looks and interior design of a very futuristic car, while looking like super sports car. The car has ideas and looks that can not be found on any other car on the current market. Thiw car has very precise edges to give it a ‘stream flow’ to give it a strong forward look. The transparent doors and roof mergers the outside and inside experience together.  The interior gives the drivers and experience like no other. They feel like they are driving a car in a spy movie. The park brake, gearshift lever and, the stop - start button are placed around the center console making it easy for the drivers position. Where they sit in a low position separated from the passenger seat by the battery that runs down the middle of the car. Everything in this car is designed for a purpose, to give the driver the ultimate driving experience. 

In the next couple of years we will be hearing a lot about this concept of a car as it enters the marketå. As we will hear of other companies making a break into the same market. Technology will continue to grow better and faster in this market as we head in to the not so distant future, as the world finds alternate technology for now days inefficient transportation. It will all start with this car, the BMW i8 concept.
