BMW i8

Ainda agora vi um i8 e ainda por cima a puxar.
Adoro o carro, mas realmente o preço atira o carro para nível "sonho" [s)]

BMW i8 versus M4 - track battle


 


A bem da verdade...experimentei esse carro e não sendo especialmente gordo, não é muito fácil sair rapidamente.[:)]
 
BMW Drops The Top On New i8 Roadster (And Upgrades The Coupe Too)

The 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine now produces 231 horsepower (up from 228), and the electric motor 143 hp (up from 131 hp) for a combined output of 374 hp to rocket the i8 coupe from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, and the roadster in 4.4 as they rocket towards their electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.

With a battery pack upgraded from 20 Ah to 34 Ah and from 7.1 kWh to 11.6, it'll also travel on electric power alone at speeds of up to 65 mph (instead of just 43 mph) – or 75 mph in eDrive mode. All-electric range is up to 34 miles (for the coupe, 33 for the convertible) on the ambitious New European Driving Cycle.

Perhaps best of all is that you can now get the i8 with a folding soft-top. Aside from the slight performance penalty, it does mean sacrificing the rear seats, but with the inherent rigidity of the carbon cell, chopping the roof off nets only a 132-pound weight penalty for a curb weight quoted at 3,516 lbs.

That roof, incidentally, can raise and lower in just 15 seconds at speeds of up to 31 mph, folding into a compact Z-shaped vertical stack. The suspension's been retuned for the roadster too, and new wheels for both versions reduce unsprung weight.

Confesso que embora saiba que é para aí que tudo caminha, a ideia de um carro eléctrico continua a não me entusiasmar.
Para mim, o prazer de ouvir um bom motor a gasolina a subir de rotação é incomparável....
E neste contexto (pessoal), dar € 150.000 por um carro com um motor de 3 cilindros, por muito bom que ele seja e ainda que híbrido, não me entusiasma particularmente...nunca o faria!
Reconheço à gama i da BMW o mérito de ter um design inovador e muito futurista, que considero bonito e bem mais interessante do que o da gama normal e o seu habitual copy paste...
