Allinformation.com- BMW is a German automotive company which manufactures cars and motorcycles. BMW was founded in 1916 by Franz Josef Popp.
Not felt, two years BMW will be a century old. Both fans and BMW itself certainly will celebrate the 100th anniversary this year with a festive, but BMW itself seems to be more enthusiastic to prepare gifts for their own, because they are planning to build a special car to commemorate. Unsparing, the BMW i8 will develop into a more virulent again as a birthday gift.
This special project will be led by Roberto Fedeli who recently resigned from Ferrari and moved to BMW. Named i8s, an upgraded version of the BMW i8 will be designed more hardcore and serious as a performance car. For example, a narrow rear seat i8 will be uninstalled so i8s 2 seater car will be pure, the use of lightweight materials and weight reduction also remains a priority.
Business machines, there will be two options for i8s. The first is a four-cylinder engine of 2,000 cc twin-turbo with an output of 320 HP electric motor combined with a 204 HP, while the second has a 6 cylinder 3000 cc unit 480 HP, combined with an electric motor 109 HP.
With the combined power reaches more than 500 HP, i8s also will maintain i8 AWD drive as standard. Besides the engine, car handling will also be improved through changes to the suspension, brakes and chassis, as well as aerodynamics through exterior changes.
With these upgrades, i8s planned to be drove from rest to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in 3.5 seconds, the equivalent of a Ferrari 458 or Lamborghini Huracan and 0.5 seconds faster than the current i8.
