A Gorgeous BMW i8 Photoshoot
The BMW i8 comes with a great clean and performance oriented drivetrain, all paired with an impressive futuristic design. The hybrid from the German car maker utilizes a dual drivetrain system. It uses the powerful plug-in hybrid system with the combination of BMW eDrive technology and a BMW TwinPower Turbo 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine, which in turn, bring together the benefits of an electric motor and a petrol engine to produce an outstanding driving experience.
First, the 170 kW (231 hp) engine proves to be extremely free-revving and delivers up to 320 Nm of torque. It is combined with two different usage engines alltogether. The electric drive, a powerful 96 kW (131 hp) motor, is located on the front axle. In contrast, the rear axle is driven by a powerful BMW TwinPower Turbo 1.5-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine with 170 kW (231 hp) of peak performance and up to 320 Nm of torque; combined with the electrical boost of the hybrid system, it guarantees typical BMW driving pleasure.
When these two drive systems are combined they allow the BMW i8 a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds – with fuel consumption of just 2.1 l per 100 km CO2 emissions of 49 g/km. Quite a remarkable performance showcase, by all means. This particular BMW i8 is further enhanced. Its exterior visual appeal is nicely upgraded with a set of custom-made aftermarket forged wheels. A perfect addition to this amazing hybrid supercar in every aspect.
The wheels come courtesy of one of the best wheel companies out there. With ADV.1 Wheels installed, you can be assured that – alongside great looks and appeal – you get a lightweight, rigid and perfectly fitting wheels for your vehicle. The ADV15 Track Spec Super Light wheels installed are a perfect match for this vehicle. For this setup, they come in sizes of 22×9.5 in the front and 22×10.5 in the rear, giving a perfect lightweight upgrade.
