BMW i8

The latest from BMW is this power packed combination of beauty, speed and efficiency. Yes it is the BMW i8, this beast clearly defies the ever extant rule of being green associated with being less elegant in design and lagging performance. The BMW i8 packs a punch with its 3 cylinder, 1500 cc and 129 bhp electric motor engine. BMW expects the i8 to travel 134 miles on a liter with Co2 emissions as low as 49kg/km. BMW i8 reaches the speeds of 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph. This outrageously fast, flashy and futuristic machine by BMW, priced roughly at about USD 143,831 went on for sales in June 2014 with about 1,741 units sold till December 2014.
