In my 20 years of test-driving cars, the BMW i8 holds the title as the most attention-grabbing; an amazing car that left me wanting one of my own in the worst way. The only possible thing that could make it better; a convertible, and for 2019 the dream comes true. BMW’s i sub-brand focuses on creating premium cars purpose-designed to be powered by pure electric or plug-in hybrid drive systems. The i8 is the ultimate expression of BMW’s powertrain capabilities, combining the power of an internal combustion engine and electric motor in an innovative way that they themselves developed. The result is a car that proclaims futuristic motoring unlike anything else on the road.
