A look under the hood:

One of the  features that makes the BMW i8 stand alone in its class is what you find under  the hood. The TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder petrol engine can be describe simply  as advance performance with low consumption. As an electric vehicle, there are multiple  charging options engineered by BMW Green  Energy for maximum sustainability: at home charging, public charging, and  even charging while driving.
BMW Efficiency
The way this sports car is built  and designed contributes even further to its mission of efficiency and dynamic  performance. The aerodynamics are designed low and wide, with a streamlined  body. Carbon fibre is used to compensate for the weight of the car battery.  This highly advanced material makes the car lightweight, contributing to smooth  and sustainable drive.
ECO PRO Mode
While driving the BMW i8, you have  the ability to select multiple driving modes: Comfort, Sport or Eco. The ECO  PRO mode is what this green car is all about. In this mode, the car adjusts the  accelerator, transmission, and heating and cooling systems to the maximum  efficiency. When the vehicle reaches just about 40 mph, it runs on purely  electric power.
It’s safe to say that if you’re looking for a dream BMW for sale, this car is at the top of  your list. The BMW i8 is a green, clean, driving machine that stands above the  rest.
