Based on BMW’s experimental i8 hybrid, this i8 Spyder Concept is introduced with a few key modifications such as a two-section folding roof, upward opening doors and “improved” looks. A 131 horsepower electric motor drives the front wheels, and a 223 horsepower turbocharged gas three-cylinder powers the rear wheels – a configuration that allows for front wheel, rear wheel or all wheel drive. It’s plenty fast too, with a 0-62mph clocked at 5 seconds and best of all, an outstanding fuel economy of 78 mpg. If all that isn’t enough, there are two electric scooters laying underneath the rear glass panel.
