BMW i8

INNOVATION DISGUISED AS A SPORTS CAR.

The BMW i8 is an icon of progress, marking an extraordinary evolution of The Ultimate Driving Machine.® As an innovative plug-in hybrid, it uses eDrive technology to combine the efficiency of an all-electric motor and the power of a TwinPower Turbo engine for an exhilarating driving experience that's every bit BMW.

STRIKING EXTERIOR.

The long wheelbase, short overhangs, precise lines, and sweeping silhouette give the appearance that the BMW i8 is surging forward even when it is standing still. The scissor doors of the BMW i8 provide an undeniable emotional and sporty allure that make it truly one-of-a-kind.

EFFICIENT DYNAMICS.

From front to back, the BMW i8 is dedicated to reducing drag. The streamflow design of the vehicle's rear wing provides significant downforce all the way up to its top speed of 155 mph. EfficientDynamic technology allows vents to open and close to offer cooling, further reduce drag coefficient, and improve the vehicle's overall aerodynamics while the front Air Curtains channel airflow through the back vents to cool the TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder engine.

TURBOCHARGED PERFORMANCE.

When a car looks this fast, it better live up to its appearance. The BMW i8 does exactly this with its innovative electric motor that sits on the front axle and the TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder engine that drives the rear axle. When combined, they deliver a total output of 357 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque, and can reach 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds.

EXTRAORDINARY EFFICIENCY.

As a plug-in hybrid with eDrive, the BMW i8 gets up to 76 MPGe fuel efficiency,2 far beyond conventional sports cars with comparable performance. And next to other plug-in hybrids, its dynamic sportiness is truly unmatched.

THE MOST PROGRESSIVE SPORTS CAR EVER.

Part of reinventing the sports car is rethinking its entire architecture. For BMW i, this led to the creation of the LifeDrive architecture, a revolutionary construction designed to deliver impeccable performance and superior dynamics, all while offering near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Plus, lightweight materials in the construction help make this plug-in hybrid vehicle as aerodynamic and sporty as possible. Its two-part structure uses aluminum and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) for their rigidity and extreme lightness as opposed to steel.

CHARGE FASTER.

Two and a half hours. That's how long it takes the BMW i8 to fully charge.4 This charging technology can be found at one of 28,000+5 U.S. public charging facilities or from a Level 2 charging station installed at home.

ENERGY, RESURRECTED.

In the BMW i8, energy can be repurposed while driving to charge the battery from thrust, braking, or directly from the gas engine. It can also be recovered whenever you're hungry for an extra boost of power.

FOUR DRIVING MODES.

The Driving Experience Control switch on the center console offers various driving modes. The standard COMFORT mode offers a balance between sporty performance and fuel efficiency. SPORT mode features the ultra-intense boost function provided by the electric motor. ECO PRO mode supports a more efficient, optimized driving style that can be used in both all-electric mode and hybrid mode. Finally, eDRIVE mode is purely electric, offering a max range of up to 15 miles6 and a max speed of 75 mph for a totally tailpipe emission-free ride.

DARE TO GO BOLD.

For a limited time, the BMW i8 will be available in a Protonic Red exterior finish with Frozen Grey metallic accents. The interior features exclusive carbon-fiber and ceramic trim.

Madrid beat Liverpool to complete hat-trick

Image
Real Madrid completed their third straight UEFA Champions League triumph with a 3-1 defeat of Liverpool in Kyiv. Gareth Bale scored twice off the bench as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in Kyiv to become European champions for the 13th time. Bale's first was an 'I-was-there' goal, one to rival Zinédine Zidane, Mario Mandžukić and any other you care to name as the best in final history. Marcelo's cross from the left looked harmless enough, but the Welshman, 20 metres out, somehow contorted his body to hook the ball over his head with enough power that it fizzed past Loris Karius. Quite the contrast to Madrid's opener on 51 minutes, when Karius attempted to roll the ball out to a team-mate only for Benzema to stick out a hopeful leg which turned out to be a goalscoring interception. Isco had been denied by the crossbar shortly prior to that, but Liverpool – creaking ever since the talismanic Mohamed Salah had been forced off with a shoulder problem in t

Ronaldo brilliance puts Madrid in charge against Juventus

Image
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid beat Juventus 3-0 in Turin to close in on a UEFA Champions League semi-final place. Ronaldo broke the deadlock when he met Isco's cross after just three minutes, but it was his second – a sensational overhead kick just after the hour – that prompted even the home fans to applaud. Juve's misery was further compounded by Paulo Dybala's red card and Marcelo bundling in a third, with Ronaldo later hitting the crossbar – as Toni Kroos had done in the opening period – and spurning two more opportunities to register yet another hat-trick. The headlines were already his, though, his exploits leaving Juve with a mountain to climb in the Spanish capital next week. Hard work pays off! Une publication partagée par Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) le 3 Avril 2018 à 4 :23 PDT Key player: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) Who else? Two more goals, more sheer brilliance, another match-winning performance. Ronaldo'
