BMW i Series

BMW Car manufacturer is looking for a more sustainable future, presenting two prototypes of BMW i Series: the i3 and i8. The BMW i Series 3 is one hundred percent electric, while the BMW i Series 8 is a super-sporty equipped with an advanced hybrid system.







The electric range of the BMW i Series 3 is currently rated at 80-100 miles while the BMW i Series 8 can go for 20 miles before the gas engine kicks in.



BMW says the i8 accelerates from zero to 62 mph in less than five seconds, which puts it the same league as the BMW M3 coupe. The BMW i8 is expected to have fuel economy of about 78 miles per gallon.



The company says it will launch the first car, the all-electric BMW i3, in 2013 and the BMW i8 high-performance plug-in hybrid in 2014.







The price of the BMW i Series is yet to be announced.
