2011 BMW i8 Concept

  The 2011 BMW i8 Concept was fist unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The BMW i8 is a plug- in hybrid electric vehicle that includes an electric motor that is located in the front axle that powers the front wheels. The BMW i8 is equipped with a turbocharged 1.5 3-cylinder gasoline engine that powers the rear wheels, The BMW i8 also has an all for wheel regenerative braking system. The bodystyle of the BMW i8 is a coupe. The top speed of a BMW i8 is 160mph and it can accelerate from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, and it only takes 2 hours to charge its battery. The reason why I chose this car is because it has a very sleek and futuristic look to it. And also because this is the cars of the future, and also because it has an electric motor and a gasoline motor combined and I find that interesting that they could actually combined those.
