BMW i8, future hybrid sports of the House of Monaco has been spied testing while maintaining a snowy path. In the pictures "stolen" you can see the sport, with the classic camouflage, do some laps on a track completely covered by snow, all under the watchful eye of some testers committed to following the test.
The i8 is part of the new project undertaken by the Bavarian manufacturer that led to the emergence of starvation under the brand name "the BMW", which from 2013 will bring together a whole range of eco-friendly cars including the aforementioned compact coupe and hybrid electric drive known at first as the Megacity Vheicle (MCV) and then called i1.
According to preliminary information released during the official presentation took place at the BMW Welt in Monaco, the i8 must be equipped with a compact three-cylinder 1.5-liter turbodiesel 3 capable of delivering 161 hp and coupled to two electric motors: one positioned on the front capable of delivering 80 hp, while the second from 51 HP has been placed on the rear, resulting in a total of 292 hp.
Despite initial statements, the head of BMW research and development, Klaus Draeger said in an interview that the diesel engine will be replaced in the production version of the i8 from a gasoline to meet for a larger slice of market, given that diesel engines are very popular in Europe but not in the rest of the world.
These new revelations also adds a rumor concerning a possible dual fuel LPG-petrol for internal combustion engine, in order to make the car even more environmentally friendly than expected. The new model will debut in the market around the world during 2013, while his production will take place in the German plant in Leipzig, recently expanded with an investment of 400 million euro.
Dingolfing plant will be built the various parts of the engine and components of the refined frame called LifeDrive. The latter consists of a special carbon fiber is applied to an innovative material called plastic CFRP. The frame combines at the same time a remarkable lightness to a high degree of resistance to shock and stress kinetics.
For the advantages of this chassis also adds torsional rigidity that traducce in a high-precision driving, due to the excellent weight distribution guaranteed by the positioning of the propellers.
