I8 BMW Concept and intriguing approach, which supports the expression of the vision of sustainable living in a modern sports car. This is an innovative hybrid-electric concept is to combine the use of modified system for the BMW Concept i3 - installed above the front axle - with high-performance internal combustion engine Kolmisylinerinen produces 164 kW (220 hp) / 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) behind. The electric motor I8 BMW Concept is a full capacity of the device, which can also power a car alone if necessary. However, working together to allow two-unit system will display their skills in a format that produces a car with sporty performance, but the fuel consumption of a small car.
Acceleration from 0-100 km / h (62 mph) in less than five seconds, combined fuel consumption cycle of less than three liters per 100 kilometers (about 94 mpg imp), and the average consumption of 100 liters per customer for 5-7 kilometers (40.4 to 56.5 mpg imp) - even when the hard drive - are the figures at the moment better than any vehicle powered by internal combustion engine of comparable performance. With a large lithium-ion battery, which can be downloaded from the national grid, the BMW Concept I8 can travel up to 35 km (20 miles) on electric power alone. Most of the short working distances can be completed with zero emissions. Electric Car-only mode allows you to be covered by emissions from central areas of the city to access restrictions in place for petrol or diesel vehicles. I8 efficiency concept is further improved its ability to produce energy on both axles.
The electric motor on the front axle Disconnect maximum energy when the driver brakes, while a high voltage generator connected to the combustion engine to charge the battery if necessary. Added to which the area offers 2 +2 seating for four, which gives a high level of daily practice.
Emotional design of the BMW Concept I8 to ensure its features are evident for all to see. Its proportions give the dynamic aspect of the BMW Concept I8 up forward before it turns a wheel well, and give a visual form of the show is phenomenal. Refined the concept behind the doors, turned up attached to the columns improves the ability of sports car and open the doors for front and rear at the same time.
A series of vents allow air to flow through and around the vehicle for maximum effect, ensuring extremely low resistance. Also add visual emphasis to the advanced aerodynamics. The flow of air plays an important role in the back as well. Contributions behind the cab and rear provide a cooling air flow in the engine compartment, while opportunities in the rear diffuser and airflow around the rear wheels provide the car is very effective in terms of elevation and downforce, with two axes.
