BMW i8 sighting:
Not sure if this car has been covered here already but this is the first I've ever seen of it. Granted, I don't read car mags anymore. Electric or hybrid(?) high performance Beemer, pretty striking in person. They were shooting it for an ad downtown today. It has gullwing doors, is very fast and will be expensive, all gleaned from talking to the people working the commercial.

Looks cool, but I don't get the blue accents - do they light up like tron?

Like a Mitsubishi? Ahh, I don't think so. At least not in person, that's for sure.
More like the Batmobile. ![]() ![]() Thing was getting car-azy attention on the street, not an easy feat in car jaded L.A.: ![]()

I've seen a silver one on PCH and on Mulholland. The one on Mulholland was motoring pretty good and sounded nice. Much better than a normal four banger sound- more like a 6. It's a turbo 3 that I think is only ever coupled to a generator to drive the electric motors, not a direct connection to the wheels.

What a dumb looking car. Looks like the future cars in the movie back to the future.
I like some bmw cars just not that one.

I first saw one in a TV ad that was part of the Sochi Olympics programming.
So I looked it up and found out it was a hybrid. ![]() |
