Bmw i8, the spot of the 300-horsepower hybrid concept

First promotional video for the new BMW i8 set along the charming Abu Dhabi circuit. The German coupe, presented as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009, will finalize in 2013. Featuring a futuristic design, the new BMW i8 will be powered by two electric motors - located on the front and back - combined with traditional four-cylinder petrol unit for a total capacity close to 300 horses.

The decision to abandon the 1.5 turbo diesel engine, since the concept car, was taken by the German leadership to satisfy the American customers, not inclined to drive a diesel. Great attention to driving pleasure: with the right mix of lightness and torsional rigidity, the new LifeDrive frame is made of carbon fiber - the BMW i8 will be able to satisfy even the most careful motorists performance The new BMW will not be the only change to zero emission: the birth of the brand "the BMW", the manufacturer of Monaco of Bavaria in 2013 will present an electric city car-presented as a concept as a Megacity Vheicle-pending on the market under the symbol i1.

Despite the wait for the final model is still long, the first rumors began to circulate on the price of the new hybrid coupe: BMW i8 will retail at over € 150,000.
