The stunning new BMW i8 Roadster is finally here! It has been years since the concept-like i8 Coupe made it to production, and this new Roadster gives us the opportunity to drive in silence with the roof off in electric mode. In this full in-depth walkthrough, that experience is highlighted: “The most interesting thing for me is the sensation of being able to drive the car in full electric mode, eDrive, with wind in the hair.”
The BMW i8 Roadster features the same 1.5 litre 3-cylinder engine but with updates that now produces 372hp and 570Nm. Substantial modifications have been required to house the new roof mechanism while maximising luggage space to still house 3 rolling trolley bags between the front bonnet and the space under the folding roof.
