Car Barn Sport | BMW i8 (2015) | The BMW i8 offers a revolutionary interpretation and focused on the future of Sheer Driving Pleasure BMW signature - and, therefore, does his job as the world's most advanced model in the sports segment. The plug-in developed and manufactured by BMW Group, in particular, presents the BMW i8 hybrid system, a new stage in the evolution EfficientDynamics development strategy. BMW EfficientDynamics began a decade ago, a significant improvement in the performance and efficiency of all new models of the BMW Group. For example, the concepts of efficient vehicles on aerodynamic design and lightweight dynamic drive systems that offer both BMW TwinPower Turbo and the BMW eDrive technology and intelligent management of energy consumption in the vehicle are based in many BMW models applied. Cars BMW I from the introduction of a revolutionary new technology which then allows his way into the models of the BMW Group brands produced benefit. As a global provider of high-end and more and more like luxury cars, BMW Group plays an active and crucial role in the development of personal mobility.
The BMW Group has been named the "most sustainable automobile manufacturer in the world" in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for eight consecutive years. The low weight of the BMW i8 (3285/1490 £ kg) may be credited primarily in a hut made of carbon fiber. Even if a component provides at least the same stiffness, this high-tech material is extremely easy to 50 percent lighter than steel and 30 percent lighter than aluminum. The intelligent lightweight construction principle applies to all components of the machine. The doors are formed by an internal structure of CFRP and aluminum outer skin and weigh 50 percent less than conventional construction. Magnesium parapet intelligent building offers 6 a weight gain of about 30 percent compared to the BMW, for example. Furthermore, the high stiffness of the support structure, a reinforcing effect of magnesium, which reduced the number of components, reduces the weight of 10 percent allows. The BMW i8 is also the first volume production car in the world to be equipped with thin, chemically hardened glass. Most aluminum used in the BMW i8 acquired or produced from renewable sources by recycling.
The BMW Group is the first automaker in the world, with an ecological method for treating the skin. This keeps the distances for the factory BMW i8 BMW factory in Leipzig pleasantly short. The materials in the interior of the BMW i8 for the stripes on the seats and special doors, interior ceiling, carpet, muscular body pillars and floors are used are innovative recycling process. Take the key to BMW i8 contains a more innovative way of production of raw materials, the case is composed of a system based on castor beans biopolymer.

While the second model of the BMW produced in series on the road, the BMW i8 also shows the versatility of the design language, founded a signature typical of BMW cars. Medium-quality BMW i8 plug-in hybrid sports car BMW i3 shares with his brother-electric drive designed for city agile and comfortable - The design of the brightness signal, security, efficiency and driving pleasure. The key to this versatility is the innovative LifeDrive architecture, an extraordinary degree of freedom for BMW i is opened. The central element of life is the module (CFRP) cabin made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. A length of 4689 mm (184.6 in), width 1,942 mm (76.5 inches) and a height of 1,293 millimeters (51 inches) are the proportions typical of BMW i8 sports car. Vehicle's track width: 1644 mm produced (64.8 inches) front, 1,715 mm (67.5 inches) in the back, the whole dynamic of the powerful presence of the proportions of the car. The body design of the BMW i8 is innovative as the plug-in hybrid sports car concept as a whole. Hallmark dynamic design of BMW and the light yield in all areas of the vehicles proportions and surface design expression. The 2 +2 is instantly recognizable as a BMW i new generation of sports car model. The structure of overlapping and connecting areas - heard additional color concept car - also contributes to the characteristic appearance of the BMW i8.
The wing doors which open forwards and upwards like wings, an additional attraction to the design of the BMW i8 sports. A hallmark of the brand BMW i is the "black belt". BMW i8 current flow determined by air between the ceiling and the character of the fall line through the rear sides of the vehicle traveling in the direction of the rear spoiler. The front view of the BMW i8 exudes athletic ability in its purest form. The large BMW kidney grille extends to slim headlights, which accentuates the width of BMW i8 and its central location on the road. The low position of the rear and emphasize the horizontal lines of latitude and a transparent window on the dynamic potential of the BMW i8. The rear part is surrounded by sculptures rear. The rear lights, reflectors and rear speakers form an optical unit that improves the appearance of the already powerful car. Such as headlights, tail lights feature the demanding functional U-shaped turn indicator in the BMW tail lights are integrated below the roof line. All the lights are LED BMW i8 externally. Future-oriented design dominates the interior of the BMW i8 also. The driver orientation so typical of BMW cabin design is complemented by progressive elements that emphasize the sports car dynamics and a light style. The driver and front passenger and rear passengers sit very low - in the traditional sports - in lightweight seats. The leather series is over the surfaces of the seats to parties on the center console, dashboard and door panels. Article exposed CFRP within visible around the entrance when they opened the doors offer a reminder of the light weight of the BMW i8.
As a sport steering wheel navigation system multifunction steering wheel are standard on the BMW i8. Available alternatives mega-standard equipment of the BMW i8 are the inner worlds and Giga Tera. Leather surfaces of door and side panel highlights are produced by functional fabrics from recycled materials complements. Giga World option is available in light or dark. The treated surfaces naturally perforated elements and subtle contrast stitching highlights the high quality of the materials and labor to the desired skin. The same dominant world TERA option brings luxury and durability of the BMW i8. Surfaces made of high quality leather with textile details and contrast stitching BMW i blue combined. The focus ring for leather steering wheel in the BMW Blue in the World Team Silver Satin Tera and other variations. The BMW i8 embodies a revolutionary interpretation of the future of joy for the BMW is known behavior, concentrated. It was as a plug-in hybrid sports car offers agile performance and high efficiency designed. An exceptionally lightweight and optimized aerodynamics - including a carbon fiber reinforced plastic interiors (CFRP) - the system of modern drive technology BMW eDrive, a large compact turbo petrol, 1.5-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and Management Intelligent Energy have come together to create a overall concept that will create represents a new step in the development strategy of EfficientDynamics. The BMW i8 combines the power of a luxury sports car with fuel consumption and emission values even lower than in urban small car.
The three-cylinder combustion engine of the BMW i8 develops 170 kW/231 hp and drives the rear wheels, while the electric motor 96 kW/131 hp with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be recharged from a standard wall power is supplied to 110 volt and 220 volt electric vehicle chargers, and sends its power to the front axle. The stronger of the two energy sources drives the rear wheels and uses the electric pulse of the hybrid system to BMW driving pleasure, while providing innovative level of efficiency. The BMW i8 has developed its own version of the LifeDrive architecture of the BMW i, which is a unique set of tools for combining intelligent lightweight construction and safety - the highest level in every case. The LifeDrive architecture consists of two independent modules separated horizontally distributed. CFRP the lightest material that can be used in the construction of a camera without compromising security. A feature of this high-tech material, stand-out is its impressive torsional stiffness but also takes 50 percent lighter than steel and 30 percent lighter than aluminum. The LifeDrive architecture and the high content of carbon fiber and aluminum are used in the construction of vehicles to optimize the weight of unprecedented size above. The curb weight of the BMW i8 is equal to 1490 kg (3.285 pounds) and the LifeDrive architecture also has a positive impact on the way the weight is distributed. Aluminum structures activated in a frontal impact the drive module and back provide additional safety. Even at high speeds show little deformation effect. Rescue scenarios and as part of the development process worked implemented. In the standard test, the process of rescuing the occupants of a BMW i8 in an accident, in different settings, even simpler than conventional vehicles involved cut. This is because the body parts in carbon fiber are lighter and can be easier to cut the high-strength steels, for example.
Despite the high forces, in some cases, concentrated, the material has a gap, and passengers are protected excellent. The concept of occupant protection safety equipment - including restrictions on electronic control - the same quality in terms of scope and effectiveness presented as vehicles of all brands of the BMW Group.
