First Hybrid, Electric Sports Car is BMW i8 Zero Carbon and More features

Copyright autoexpress.co.uk
BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid sports car and everybody's dream car.
The i8 is part of BMW's electric fleet "Project i" being marketed as a new sub-brand, BMW i.
2015 model year BMW i8 has a 7.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that delivers an all-electric range of 37 km (23 mi)
BMW i8, a plug-in hybrid backed by a 1.5-litre gas engine, is capable of top-notch performance. The big news this year is the addition of a Protonic Red version. Dazzling in red paint, this variant includes several unique decorative features. In fully electric mode, the i8 can travel up to 24 kilometres. Its 0-100 km/h time is just 4.3 seconds, but that kind of speed will reduce its electric range almost as quickly.

FROM WIKIPEDIA
Under the United States Environmental Protection Agency cycle, the range in EV mode is 24 km (15 mi) with a small amount of gasoline consumption. Its design is heavily influenced by the M1 Hommage Concept car, which in turn pays homage to BMW's last production mid-engined sports car prior to the i8: the BMW M1.

The BMW i8 can accelerate from a dead-stop to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds[10][11] and has an electronic limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). The BMW i8 has a fuel efficiency of 2.1 L/100 km (134.5 mpg‑imp; 112.0 mpg‑US) under the NEDC test with carbon emissions of 49 g/km. EPA rated the i8 combined fuel economy at 76 equivalent (3.1 L gasoline equivalent/100 km; 91 mpg-imp gasoline equivalent) and 29 miles per gallon (6.7L) when running in pure gasoline mode (after the battery is drained empty).

The initial turbodiesel concept car was unveiled at the 2009 International Motor Show Germany. The production version of the BMW i8 was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The i8 was released in Germany in June 2014[12]. Deliveries to retail customers in the U.S. began in August 2014. Global sales since mid-2014 totaled more than 10,000 BMW i8s by early November 2016, making the i8 the world's top selling plug-in electrified sports car. The top selling markets are the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany.

  19. I'm a huge fan of how Trapstar blends underground grime culture with fashion. There’s a rawness to the brand that reminds me of early 2000s UK street style but it’s updated in a way that still feels modern and global.

  46. A "fake god" does not necessarily have to be a mythological figure or an idol made of stone or wood. It can be anything that takes the place of the true God in a person’s heart, mind, or life. In a religious context, fake gods refer to idols or false deities that people worship instead of the one true Creator.

  55. The points you mentioned about seasonal styling are spot-on. Le Lis Clothing’s collections usually include timeless staples that transition well from day to evening, which is ideal for holiday events. With the Christmas sale approaching, it’s a great moment to refresh wardrobes without overspending.

  63. At the same time, reps occupy a controversial space. Critics argue that replicas undermine brand value and violate intellectual property rights. Supporters counter that fast fashion brands already imitate high fashion designs without consequence, and reps simply democratize access.
