At the (IAA), BMW prepared the world premiere of its BMW i8, the second model of the new BMW i brand. The BMW Group's first hybrid vehicle and the most advanced sports car in the world; a revolutionary interpretation of the typical BMW driving pleasure; innovative premium character with a clear focus on sustainability.
BMW has taken futurism completely seriously and has designed the vehicle of the future, which is ready to be put on the road today. An exceptional visual impression is part of the BMW i design language. Nevertheless, it is a recognizable BMW, but it just oozes futurism. The doors are in the form of wings and open upwards, led headlights with upgraded laser headlights (a first in cars). When you look at the car like this, it is hard to tell that it is a production version of the vehicle and not a study.
