宝马在三年前发布了i8 Spyder概念车，近日，宝马总裁Harald Krüger证实将很快发布其量产版。虽然Krüger拒绝透露该车细节，但表示，该车将很快发布。宝马在去年中期交付首批i8，预计其敞篷版也不会让消费者等太久。i8 Spyder概念车采用半透明引擎盖，敞篷设计，大倾角风挡并集成扰流器，时尚的车尾和短轴距。预计该车与i8硬顶版共享插电混动系统，包括一台1.5升TwinPower Turbo三缸引擎，一台电机和锂电池组，综合输出功率266千瓦/362马力。车辆百公里加速时间4.4秒，最高时速250公里，纯电动模式下续航里程37公里，百公里油耗2.1升。

 

BMW i8 Spyder reportedly coming soon

BMW unveiled the i8 Spyder concept over three years ago but BMW Chairman Harald Krüger has reportedly confirmed it is finally headed for production.

 

Krüger was tight-lipped on specifics told Handelsblatt the model will be introduced relatively soon. There's no word on timing but BMW delivered the first i8s in mid-2014 so hopefully the company doesn't intend of making us wait too much longer.

It remains unclear how much the production model will have in common with the concept but the latter had a semi-transparent hood, an open top design and a rakish windscreen with an integrated spoiler. The model also had stylish rear buttresses and a shortened wheelbase.

 

The i8's plug-in hybrid powertrain will likely carryover and consist of a 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder engine, an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack. This setup enables the coupe to produce a combined maximum output of 362 PS (266 kW). In terms of performance, the model can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and hit a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Of course, the real standout feature the ability to return 2.1 L/100 km (134.5 mpg UK / 112 mpg US) and travel up to 37 km (23 miles) on electricity alone.
