STUNNING, INNOVATIVE, SPORTY, EFFICIENT, HIGH-TECH, NONSMOKER, EXOTIC! The 2015 BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid sports car that combines futuristic design with advanced technology and performance, embodying BMW's historic ''The Ultimate Driving Machine'' ethos with a forward-looking spirit. Its unique mix of a turbocharged 1.5?L three-cylinder engine and electric motor creates an engaging driving experience that blends efficiency with thrilling acceleration, while the low, aerodynamic profile and distinctive butterfly doors turn heads wherever it goes. Unlike most competitors, the i8 uniquely bridges the gap between eco-friendly efficiency and exotic supercar dynamics. Its innovative carbon-fiber and aluminum construction substantially reduces weight compared with traditional performance cars, helping it feel more agile than many rivals, even those that focus purely on performance rather than fuel economy. Many automotive critics didn't just review this car favorably -- they applauded it as a glimpse of the future of performance driving. * Awards and Accolades * World Green Car Award -- Car of the Year 2015 * International Engine of the Year -- 1.5?L Hybrid Powerplant Winner * IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK in its class * Cars.com Editors' Choice for Hybrid Sports Cars * Kelley Blue Book Best Value in Exotic Hybrids * Edmunds Top Recommended Hybrid Supercar * U.S. News Best Luxury Hybrid Sports Car * MotorTrend Performance Recognition * J.D.
