Futuristic BMW i8 spotted in New York City

New York City is a bustling metropolis with a beautiful skyline. In 'downtown' the city is typical American with many advertising and stately buildings. It's the place where the BMW i8 looks extremely futuristic, almost unreal!

BMW had the guts to not change that much to the i8 Concept from 2009. The car which is now at the dealerships still ahas the modern lines and the modern nose that's completely new for BMW. This copy has a bright blue colour Protonic Blue and has beautiful BMW i Lt Aly turbine wheels. In combination with the beautiful photos, this is an amazing spot!

It's strange that BMW announced earlier this week that the first i8 in the United States would be on Pebble Beach. That's not right. This is probably a demo car of the local BMW dealerhsip, New Jersey BMW. In New York City, they will welcome this hybrid with open arms. The car isn't only very powerful, it's also environmentally friendly!

Under the hood we find a three cylinder engine which produces almost 400 hp together with the hybrid engine. All four wheels arep owered and this results in a great performance. You can sprint to 100 kph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 250 kph should be possible. The hybrid engine, which only powers the front wheels produces 131 hp. The three cylinder engine with an engine capacity of only 1.5 liter produces the other 231 hp. Together they have fuel consumption of only 2.5 liter per 100 kilometers.
