A number of reasons led to the downfall of the BMW i8, and at the top of the list, the significant price-point was a driving factor. Retailing between $318,900 and $348,900, plus on-road costs, this was a car that always had a limited target market. However, at the same time, the i8 didn't quite have the same out-and-out power as that of other cars in the same bracket, with the electric motor paired with a turbo-petrol 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine. With a 0-100 km/h sprint time of about 4.4 seconds, it was still quick by all means, but not the sort of supercar that you'd expect to pay at this price, and hence its limited appeal meant its viability wasn't an option.
In its last years of production, the BMW i8 was a low volume unit that struggle to find traction. It was always intended to target a small market, however, compared with rivals like the Porsche 911, the model just didn't hit the mark with local new car buyers. In 2019 just 17 units of the BMW i8 were sold, while in the year prior, a total of 14 units were registered. That should give you an idea that there aren't many i8 vehicles out there across Australia, spotting one will be like stumbling on a gold mine.
While the BMW i8 offered electric functionality, it was a plug-in hybrid vehicle that combined a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with an 11.6-kWh battery pack and two electric motors. So yes, the BMW i8 takes premium unleaded petrol, although it is the electric motor that generates the most fuel-efficient mileage for this vehicle.

Despite looking a lot like an i8 Coupe with a missing roof, the extensive reworking involved to create the i8 Roadster ensures this new variant upholds BMWs technical edge while still turning heads like nothing else on the road.

Given the cutting-edge plug-in hybrid technology and carbon construction that makes up the BMW i8, it was quite revealing that there was no technical presentation at the international launch of the new i8 Roadster. This, unashamedly, is the glamour puss of the range, which may at first sound ludicrous given the i8 Coupe’s ability to stop traffic and draw sma...

"Good job," comes the now familiar voice across the cosy cockpit of the BMW i8. My co-driver Glen Weston, a three-time Australian Rally Champion navigator follows up with a grin and, "How was that?" The 'that' he refers to is the last three days of steering the hybrid BMW supercar through days four, five and six of the 25th Targa Tasmania. I couldn't answer...

From the Probe-16 (Durango 95) in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, to the Audi RSQ in Alex Proyas’ iRobot, filmmakers have always looked to the most advanced concept cars to depict the future of transportation. But rarely, if ever, do these celluloid props find their way into the real world, let alone with number plates on them. In the 2011 film, Missio...
