The BMW i8 has been captured testing on the Nürburgring
Spies from monsterchannel 24 managed to catch BMW’s i8 hybrid sportscar hoofing it on Germany’s famed Nürburgring. The i8 will utilise a 96 kW/250 N.m electric motor up front, while that hearty thrum you’re listening it comes from a 164 kW/300 N.m three-cylinder turbopetrol engine powering the rear wheels and acting as a range extender.
The total output is rated at 260 kW and BMW claims a 0-100 km/h time of just under five seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h for this all-wheel drive model.
Only 20 examples of the i8 are expected to reach our shores.
