SUMMARY

On offer from a private Collection, a very smart example of what was undoubtedly the start of the future.

DESCRIPTION

In today's automotive landscape, it's essential for major manufacturers to incorporate hybrid or all-electric options into their lineup. BMW took this a step further by launching BMW i, a brand dedicated to promoting environmentally friendly vehicles. Leading this initiative is the i8, which made its debut as a concept at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show before hitting the market in April 2014. This plug-in hybrid boasts impressive performance, with a turbocharged petrol engine powering the rear wheels and an electric motor in the front axle assembly. With outputs of 228bhp and 139bhp equivalent, the i8 accelerates from 0-60mph in under 4.4 seconds and is electronically limited to 155mph. Its sleek coupé design features 'butterfly' doors and a carbon fibre-reinforced passenger cell, contributing to its low drag coefficient and fuel efficiency at high speeds. Whether silently gliding on electric power or unleashing its speed with a flick of a switch, the i8 marks a significant step towards the future, challenging traditional notions of automotive performance.

Here is a stunning BMW i8 finished in Protonic Blue over Frozen Grey metallic paintwork, complemented by an Ivory White BMW 'i-Spheric' perforated full leather interior. This right-hand drive example, first registered in January 2015, was acquired by the current owner from Stratstone BMW in April 2017, with detailed records included. Part of a private Collection, the car has been meticulously maintained by professionals, with maintenance invoices and the original BMW owner's handbook included.

As one of the world's most sought after electric-hybrid sports cars, the i8 represents a pioneering blend of speed, style, and sustainability. With production now ceased, it's transitioning into a modern classic, offering a compelling option for eco-conscious drivers seeking performance without compromise. Don't miss the opportunity to own this stylish sports car, perfectly suited for navigating emission-controlled zones with ease.
