The future arrived in 2014
There once was a time when electric and hybrid cars were rather bland and quite dull. Then, a couple of the world’s most influential and successful manufacturers got involved, ensuring the future for electric and hybrid cars no longer looked depressingly bleak. One of those manufacturers was BMW, who in 2014 launched the incredible i8.
Despite the BMW i8 having a rather eco-conscious nature about it, this space age sports car is often referred to as a supercar. No surprise really, given its head-turning looks.
But should you buy one? Does it match up to its looks? Does it deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as a supercar? Read on to discover our eight (get it, i-eight…) reasons why it is a ‘supercar’ bargain.
It turns heads for fun
Perhaps the most obvious reason, really. The looks were very much ahead of their time in 2014, and even today the i8 still looks incredible.
It may be cliché, but the i8 genuinely does look like it has come from the future. Available in a range of colors including ‘Sophisto Grey’, ‘Ionic Silver’, ‘Crystal White Pearl Effect’ and ‘Protonic Blue’, depending on your preference, these colors give the i8 a different aura.
For example, a white version looks like the automotive version of a stormtrooper, whilst black is typically classy. BMW has of course released a few more colors including ‘Frozen Yellow’, ‘Protonic Red’ and ‘Java Green’, but these are a lot rarer, and of course command a premium over standard colors. No matter what color you go for, you are going to get attention.
