BMW i8.Roadster (2018)
The 2018 i8 Roadster wraps the same hybrid performance and futuristic design of the i8 Coupe into an open-top package, offering dramatic styling, electrified acceleration, and the unique blend of efficiency and sportiness — albeit at a premium price when new and with typical depreciation in the used market.
• Powertrain: Mid-engine 1.5 L turbocharged three-cylinder petrol paired with an electric motor for a combined ~275 kW (~374 hp) and ~570 Nm of torque driving all four wheels via a plug-in hybrid system — blending efficiency with sporty performance.

• Performance: 0-100 km/h in about 4.6 s with an electronically limited top speed of ~250 km/h, slightly slower than the coupe due to additional weight and convertible roof.

• Chassis & Dynamics: Two-seat roadster with a lightweight hybrid platform, carbon-fiber structure, and electrically-operated soft-top that opens/closes in ~15–16 s (up to ~50 km/h).

• Aerodynamics & Handling: High-efficiency design and low center of gravity from the hybrid layout, retaining crisp handling and dynamic balance despite the convertible conversion.

• Design & Layout: Eye-catching open-top plug-in hybrid with futuristic styling, premium interior tech, and strong emphasis on blending sportiness with eco-friendly performance.
