The all new i-brand cars are the BMW’s masterpiece. On the introduction of i-Series, the world did not anticipate the concepts to develop into reality in such a small period of time. In 2012, BMW disclosed the i8 Spyder Concept. The i8 Spyder is based on the Coupe and it has been confirmed for production in 2015. We could anticipate the electric sports vehicle to be available for sales in the end of 2015. The convertible version would use the same composite materials and unique structural design to make the BMW’s i-range of cars more unique. BMW launched i-Series in multiple markets across the globe at the same time. These days, the BMW has two i-Series models on sale with exceptionally high demands for both all-electric models however a list of bookings is still pending for this year and will not be accepting anymore orders.
Now, let’s closely look at what the 2015 BMW i8 Spyder has to offer. Based on the Vision Efficient Dynamics concept, the BMW i8 Coupe is one of the most sophisticated and advanced automobiles on the planet. The i8 Spyder will use aluminium and carbon fibre composite plastics in great extent just like the BMW i8 Coupe. The mixture of a high strength aluminium composite chassis which joints all the drivetrain mechanisms and a superstructure fashioned for various reasons.
We are expectants of the future BMW i8 Spyder to use the similar powertrain as that of the Coupe. The BMW i8 Coupe uses a 1.5-liter engine. This three cylinder motor generates 231 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. An electric motor is coupled to the front axle which steers the front wheels, while the engine offers power to the rear wheels. Electric motor is also very powerful and develops 131 horsepower and a massive torque of 184 Lb-Ft. Combined output from engine and electric motor is claimed at 362 horsepower and combined torque of 420 Lb-Ft which is accurate and enough for asserting the i8 as a Sport car available in the market today
