When BMW first announced plans to put the dynamics of vision in producing efficient, a company source said, “there will be less of synthetic glass and solid structure added to the final design.” How do you translate? The 2013 BMW i8 will be built on an aluminum chassis that houses the drive train and the passenger cell.
This cell is composed of high strength, very lightweight plastic carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP). Will be built at the BMW plant in Leipzig from 2013.

front of the car will be defined by the now famous kidney grille and two large air inlets. The gullwing doors will be replaced by the standards and the back will have a quad exhaust system.
For the interior is expected that the M usual accessories: leather sports seats, a sport steering wheel, aluminum inserts and different.
Engine 2013 BMW i8
Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept was powered by a turbocharged three-cylinder plant diesel engine combined with two electric motors with a maximum power of 356 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque. For the 2013 BMW i8, combining a 1.5-liter BMW in line 3 engine with two electric motors with an output of 95 HP each. The end result will be in the area of ??400 HP.
BMW will offer two versions of RWD and AWD, with the hybrid version offered only as an AWD model. The engine will be mated to a new dual-clutch transmission and future super sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds. The company has promised a fuel economy of 58 MPG and a range of 400 kilometers. The bad news, however, is that the maximum speed is limited to only 155 mph, but we’re sure tuners have something to say about it.
As for the M version, which is rumored to be powered by a turbocharged inline-six or V8 engine with an output of 450 hp. The engine is combined with two “supercapacitors” that will add a total of 100 HP each. And if you do a little math you’ll understand why we can not wait to see the project i Coupe when it enters production.
When I can get one?
The BMW project i Coupé goes on sale in 2013. In Germany, is rumored to be priced at between 125,000 and 175,000 euros (between $ 175,000 and $ 250,000 at current exchange rates). BMW announced that it would produce about 30,000 units in 5 years.
Competition
The project will Coupe and BMW models like the Mercedes-Benz SLS, the Audi R8 V10 and the Porsche 911 Turbo. They are all German models and they all develop over 500 HP. Not to mention all of them have prices greater than any normal person could never afford. Thus, for which there can really afford, we believe that the final decision is made on the basis of all tastes and flavors.
