Enthusiasts will be pleased to finally see some imagery rather than just the vague concept sketches of the BMW's i sub-brand [1], we posted last month.
There's some exclusive videoclips too, also from BMW enthusiast site Bimmerpost [2], which shows the i8 gliding over ice like Pierce Brosnan's Aston Martin in Die Another Day. Well, almost.
However, the Vision Efficient Dynamics [3] concept, from which the i8 takes its design, is set to be featured in Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol, so it certainly fits the espionage bill. ®
