The dimensions of the i8 are at 4,689 mm overall length, 1,942 mm overall width, 1,298 mm overall height and a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. One of the major selling points of the BMW i8 is its hybrid powertrain. The petrol engine is 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder unit that produces an impressive 231 bhp and 320 Nm of torque. The engine works in conjunction with an electric motor that outputs 129 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. Overall, if the driver were to set the car to Sports mode, the powertrain’s overall figure is 362 bhp.
