SOLID ! BMW i8 SUPERCAR HYBRID

It looks like we’re scrambling all of BMW’s deepest and darkest secrets this week. This new set of photos show the BMW i8 hybrid supercar in near-production trim pounding the Nurburgring getting ready for its big unveiling alongside the i3 citycar later this year – the Frankfurt Motor Show in September seems the likely target.

Our European spyshot specialist CarPix has delivered a fantastic set of photos here, revealing much of the production car’s fine points. It’s no surprise that a lot of the original i8 Concept‘s wild elements have been toned down for production – you didn’t think the glass doors were for real, did you? – but there’s no denying that BMW’s attempt at making an eco-friendly supercar is dressed to impress.
