An up to date and fresh report from Bimmer post advocates that BMW administrators have officially permitted the i8 Spyder for production, and that we should expect it in late 2015.

The similar report also advocates that by now BMW has introduced a geared up model for production to insiders  last week. This model attributes a Solar Orange outer surface paint, the same to what we’ve noticed on the i3 shared with blue highlights. Certainly the i8 Spyder will use the same engine and the technological attributes with its coupe sibling.

The outer walls and exterior will remain practically one and the same to the concept edition, but with the manufacturing style characteristics of the i8 Coupe. After a duo concept versions and many testing sessions, at the end of the day BMW i8 made its world debut at Frankfurt Motor Show 2013.
