Global sales of the BMW i8 exceeded the combined figure of all other hybrid sports cars produced by other manufacturers combined i.e. 5,456. The i8, which is powered by the combination of a three-cylinder turbocharged engine and an electric
drive system, was the best-selling hybrid worldwide in 2015.
BMW i8 is set to add further sparkle to its appeal with exclusive special-edition models poised to be unveiled for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016.
The first in this line of special-edition models will be the BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition which will only be available for a limited period. This take on the 2+2-seater with carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell and efficient BMW eDrive drive system technology will be produced at BMW’s Plant in Leipzig from July 2016
