The BMW i8 pairs a 1.5‑litre turbo 3‑cylinder with a front‑axle electric motor for electric AWD theatrics. Depending on model year, combined output is 266–275 kW and about 570 Nm, good for 0–100 km/h ~4.4 s in the Coupé (the Roadster’s a whisker slower). The e‑side sips from a 7.1–11.6 kWh battery, delivering an EV range ~23–55 km if you keep your right foot polite. Top speed is a sensible‑ish 250 km/h (limited), because physics and licences are both fragile. Drivetrain is split—six‑speed auto for the engine, a two‑speed unit for the motor—so it hustles like a sci‑fi hot hatch in a tux. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
