BMW i8 review






























The Good

Stunning looks, low running costs, strong performance and low CO2 emissions. 







 The Bad
Cramped rear seats, road noise and small boot.









Overview
 Featuring swan-wing doors, a shark-nose front end and a super car stance the i8 plug-in hybrid is BMW’s most revolutionary car in decades. There are 4 interior seats although the rear seats are a bit cramped. A turbocharged three-cylinder engine/electric motor duo with pa combined 357 hp delivers M3-like acceleration. A 155-mph top seed and Prius-like efficiency. Handling is agile and steering precise. The braking is great for any car let alone a hybrid. Overall it’s a truly impressive effort.
