BMW I8 Concept

The BMW I8 Concept car is the car of the future . This plug in hybrid was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor show (with the production model unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor show). The i8 has a 7.2 KWh Lithium- ion battery pack which has an electric range of 22 miles. Though it has a relatively short range, the i8 can speed to 60mph in just 4.8 seconds, which is quite fast for a electric hybrid. The lightweight chassis of the I8, made from aluminum and the polycarbonate glass for the windshield play a key role in the acceleration time.

The I8 has a sleek one-of-a-kind body structure that is completely new to the automotive industry. To me the I8 has one of the most uniquely appealing cars on the market.

Quickly after the innovation of the I8 concept, BMW created the convertible spyder. Due to arrive in 2014, the spyder IS the best-looking car on the market. With a see through back glass showing its all-electric engine, and butterfly doors that add to its appeal. This amazing car, in my opinion, is well worth the 100 thousand dollar price tag.
