  • The BMW i8 Roadster has a radically shortened windshield, a massive front splitter, a large rear wing and a roll cage with special signals.
  • After the modifications, the center of gravity of the safety car dropped another 15 millimeters compared to the production car. Additionally, the BMW i8 is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes from the M-package. The company claims that the novelty became the world's first safety car with an open body.

The hybrid power plant remained unchanged - it is a "turbo-engine" 1.5 with an electric motor with a total capacity of 374 hp. (570 Nm). The roadster accelerates to 100 km / h in 4.6 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km / h. In Russia, an open i8 costs at least 11,490,000 rubles.
