The idea car BMW Vision EfficientDynamics created excitement and very constructive feedback on the IAA 2009. The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics made it clear that an emotional sports activities automobile with the gas economic system of a small automobile is not any contradiction, but may soon be reality.
After profitable preliminary testing of the automobile idea, the choice for a sequence-production automobile was rapidly made. The BMW i8 Concept is the following step within the evolution of the BMW Imaginative and prescient EfficientDynamics Concept. The outcome: The most progressive and progressive sports activities automotive of its time. Its modern plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electrical drive system from the BMW i3 Concept - fitted over its entrance axle - with a excessive-efficiency three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW/220 hp and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) on the rear. Working in tandem, they allow the two drive programs to show their respective abilities to the complete, delivering the efficiency of a sports activities automobile however the gas consumption of a small car.
Acceleration of zero to a hundred km/h (sixty two mph) in beneath five seconds mixed with gas consumption within the European cycle of under three litres per 100 kilometres (approx. 94 mpg imp) are figures at present beyond the aptitude of any automobile powered by a combustion engine of comparable performance. Thanks to the eDrive technology with its massive lithium-ion battery, which may be charged from a domestic energy supply, the BMW i8 Idea can journey up to 35 kilometres (approx. 20 miles) on electrical energy alone. Added to which, the two+2-seater presents enough space for 4 people, giving it a excessive stage of on a regular basis practicality.
The LifeDrive architecture of the BMW i8 Concept has been carefully tailored to boost the automobile's sports automobile character, and due to this fact to deliver unbeatable efficiency and glorious driving dynamics. The motor within the front axle module and combustion engine on the rear are linked by an "power tunnel", which homes the high-voltage battery. This offers the car a low centre of gravity - and the dynamic advantages that come with it. The positioning of the electrical motor and engine over their respective axles and the house-saving and well-balanced packaging of all elements result in an optimum 50/50 weight distribution.
