BMW i8 by Wheels Boutique
Read Time:1 Minute, 11 Second
The one-off BMW i8 plug-in hybrid has been recently fitted with a set of exclusive wheels, entirely belonging to the aftermarket specialists from the Wheels Boutique tuner division.
We are talking about the so called HRE P101 wheels, sized 22×9 and 22×10.5, front and rear, all wrapped with the Translucent Blue finish to complement the exquisite body paintjob.
To be a reminder, the BMW i8 plug-in hybrid is assembled in Leipzig, Germany, being offered as a two-door body coupe. Under the hood, the i8 is getting its power from a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline three-cylinder unit, backed by an electric motor, which delivers an additional 131 horsepower.
With the overall power standing at 357 horsepower and 570 Nm of torque, the BMW i8 is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, at a top speed of 250 km/h.
Another outstanding point, is that the company`s first hybrid model is extremely efficient in terms of fuel, with a 2.1 L/100 km, under the NEDC test, while the carbon emissions stand at just 49 g/km.
