BMW i8 Spotted: Potential Engine Swap for Upcoming Model
BMW has been spotted filming its upcoming i8 model, despite the camouflage. The car, labelled 'BMW Vision EfficientDynamics', is not undergoing cold-weather testing but is being used for a BMW TV teaser video. Speculations arise about a potential engine change.
The BMW i8, initially planned with a 1.5-litre diesel engine, might now be powered by a 4-cylinder petrol engine. This change, if confirmed, would not affect the car's impressive performance. The i8 is expected to maintain its sub-5 second 0-60mph acceleration and 75mpg fuel efficiency.
Positioned as a halo car, the i8 is set to launch in 2013 with a price tag around £150k. Despite the engine change, BMW enthusiasts can still anticipate the i8's sleek design and innovative technology.
The BMW i8, caught on camera for a TV teaser, hints at a potential engine swap from diesel to petrol. Despite this, the car's impressive performance and high price point remain unchanged. The i8's launch in 2013 is eagerly awaited by BMW fans.
