2018 BMW i8 Coupe - Interior and Exterior.
Like the new BMW i8 Coupe, the new BMW i8 Roadster is based on the LifeDrive vehicle with aluminum chassis and carbon-fibrereinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell. The further optimized BMW eDrive technology is used in both models to include a high-voltage battery with significantly increased cell capacity and energy content. The result is a noticeable increase in the dynamic performance, operating range and the amount of driving.
The proportions, lines and surface design mark of both the BMW i8 Coupe and BMW i8 Roadster as to a new breed of sports car. On the individual level, the BMW i8 Coupe stands out as an extremely sporty 2 + 2 seater, while the BMW i8 Roadster oozes all the freedom of the open-top motoring for two. The two models sport "Coupe" or "Roadster" lettering respectively on their C-pillars. The choice of exterior paint finishes now includes the new E-Copper metallic and Donington Gray metallic shades.
CFRP is also used to manufacture the side skirts with their extra-large crosssection. Additional struts and panels in the front and rear axles also help to maximize the body's rigidity. The unbeaten weight of the new BMW i8 Roadster stands at 1,595 kilograms, meaning the design's inherent weight of a vis-à-vis the Coupe is limited to around 60 kilograms, a remarkably low figure for an open-top car.
Rigorously further developed BMW eDrive technology and the optimized operating strategy of the intelligent energy management. This underscores the groundbreaking character of the new BMW i8 Coupe and that drivers of the new BMW i8 Roadster can enjoy free and open-top motoring to the full.
In the standard driving mode, the new BMW i8 Coupe and new BMW i8 Roadster can be driven exclusively on the electric motor alone from the step-off to a speed of 105 km / h, which is up from 70 km / h in the original i8. The combustion engine is only brought into play at higher speeds or when the driver is driving. Pressing the eDrive button allows both models to travel at up to 120 km / h on electric power alone. The electric range of the new BMW i8 Coupe in the NEDC test cycle has increased to 55 kilometres (34 miles) and the new BMW i8 Roadster posts a figure of 53 kilometres (33 miles).
The BMW i8 Coupe and new BMW i8 Roadster. The threecylinder unit extracts maximum output of 170 kW / 231 hp from its displacement of just 1.5 liters, along with torque of 320 Nm (236 lb-ft). In the process, it generates an even sportier soundtrack. A particulate filter is now fitted to further reduce emissions by absorbing the particulate matter contained in the exhaust gases.
The system output produced by the electric motor and engine is 275 kW / 374 hp. The new BMW i8 Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.4 seconds, while the new BMW i8 Roadster takes a tick longer with a time of 4.6 seconds. Both models have an electronically limited speed of 250 km / h.
The electric motor's power is transmitted to the rear wheels, resulting in a hybrid-specific all-wheel-drive system that is controlled by the car's intelligent energy management. In hybrid mode, the electric motor provides the power to boost the engine. It is also able to recuperate energy and feed it to the high-voltage battery on the overrun and under braking. The petrol engine is a high-voltage starter-generator that can be used in the BMW i8 Coupe and new BMW i8 Roadster.
The new BMW i8 Coupe and new The BMW i8 Roadster comes with a Caro interior trim as standard, comprising full-leather upholstery in Ivory White for the Coupe and Ivory White / Black for the Roadster. As well as the Halo interior trim, the list of optional extras also includes the new Amaro / E-Copper color scheme. Standard specification and includes features such as a leather steering wheel with multifunction buttons and shift paddles, electrically adjustable and heated seats, the multifunctional instrument display, the Driving Assistant, including the Surround View, the BMW Display Key and the Navigation system Professional. The main menu in the Control Display is now in the form of horizontally arranged tiles with a live mode.
