These are the first
official pictures of the BMW i8 Spyder which have been released ready
for the cars showcase at the Beijing Motor Show later this month.
Like the i8 Coupe, the Spyder will have a plug-in hybrid powertrain which will produce 220bhp at the rear wheels aswell as a 129bhp electric motor to drive the front wheels.
The i8 spyder will have a few technical changes to the coupe with a slightly shorter wheelbase and overall length.
The car will consist of a carbon fibre body while the chassis will be mainly aluminium.
It is claimed the i8 Spyder will return fuel economy of 94mpg and a domestic socket will charge up the batteries in 2 hours giving around a 17 mile range on electric power alone.
The i8 will hopefully make production in 2014 with a price tag of below the 6 figure mark.
