Here at Fields BMW of Daytona, your trusted BMW dealer serving St. Augustine, we're fortunate to see some of the most amazing fruits of this labor with the BMW brand delivering some absolutely astonishing electric models. One of the most impressive currently on hand is the 2016 BMW i8 and this triumph of engineering is an absolute must-see vehicle. Read on for some more details and then get down here for a test drive!
The early days of electric vehicles brought about models that were slow, unattractive, and cumbersome. Well, if there's a polar opposite to these negative traits it's the 2016 BMW i8. This impeccably designed coupe is not only beautiful to look at it with its futuristic body style but equally impressive when you consider what it achieves from an engineering standpoint. The 2016 BMW i8 employs a 1.5L I-3 hybrid electric engine that produces a whopping 357 net system horsepower while giving you a combined fuel economy of an EPA estimated 78 miles per gallon. With this incredible performance comes all of the luxurious amenities you'd expect from the BMW brand such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, and an onboard communications system.
