BMW i8

[Haloid95]

What do you guys think of the BMW i8, it looks like a very modern car to me. I heard about it a while ago, and did some research about it after I saw it in Mission Impossible 4. I want it... :drool: It looks like something out of a futuristic movie.

Speaking of which, IIRC that car uses the laser headlights proposed by bmw.(445nm pumping phosphorous to excite it into white light emission)

I was looking for that thread, I read it before and couldn't find it. Another reason for us hobbyist to be interested in this car.


The car looks kind of Alien-like cant imagine seeing one on the street.

Wow, i'm not usually a car guy, but that looks awesome!

i8? What an awful name..... How many cores does it have?

i8 seems suitable enough, calling it "the badass bmw that could only be more fucking awesome if it had a pair of tits and was on fire" is too long.

I like it. I like it A LOT.

Except the doors... they are transparent, a minus imo.

Nice car, not bad, but personally I prefer the Koenigsegg Agera
