BMW i8 Coupe 2019
The 2019 BMW i8 Coupe represents BMW's visionary approach to sustainable performance, offering a plug-in hybrid sports car with striking design and advanced technology. This model year featured two variants: the standard i8 Coupe with a 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, delivering 369 horsepower, and the i8 Roadster with identical powertrain specifications but featuring a retractable soft top. Both versions utilized carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) construction for lightweight durability, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency. The 2019 updates included revised suspension tuning, enhanced battery capacity (11.6 kWh), and new exterior color options, solidifying its position as BMW's flagship eco-conscious performance vehicle.
