BMW i3 and i8 in motion [video]

Video shows cars driving the streets for the first time

BMW has released this film on the i3 and the i8 models which shows the two i-sub-brand cars in motion. The video shows both cars prowling an urban landscape but the two models represent the opposite ends of the i-sub-brand range.

The i3 is a compact electric city car while the i8 is a super-efficient supercar with a fuel-economy rating of around 3 liters/100 km (94 mpg imp).

The two cars will debut to the public at the Frankfurt motor show next month.

This video was on the BMW i website the day after the unveiling it's not that new, and the cars aren't really there they're cg. Though it is very well made, and I'm very interested to see the final production versions.

good visionaire. we are in the 21st century but many of the new cars don't look futuristic. glad that BMW is pushing the design limits.

electrifying prospects . this conceptual video ought to have fast forwarded the cityscape as well in order that the car and the environment are both on the same time frame .
