PROTONIC FROZEN YELLOW MATTE
Exterior: There are few cars that make a stronger first impression than the BMW i8.The BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Yellow Edition embodies unbeatable sportiness and futuristic aesthetics. The ice-coloured finish of the BMW matte yellow paint, together with the shiny black surfaces on the bonnet and rear, underline the powerful styling of the unique exterior. The completely cool, dark yellow color pigments on the surface even remains unmistakeable at night and shimmers gold - perfect for a night out on the Las Vegas strip or nearby areas (Summerlin and Henderson). Just wait until you open the scissor doors - all eyes will be on you.
Interior: Inside the BMW i8, top-quality workmanship meets elegant sportiness. As soon as you open the door, your gaze is immediately drawn to the door sill finisher emblazoned with the protonic lettering. Other eye-catchers include the dark NESO seats with woven yellow and anthracite stitching and the headrest with the embossed BMW i8 logo. A strikingly attractive contrast is created by the seat belt in grey. The gear shift lever and central operating element in ceramic design, combined with the classic driver orientation create a high-tech atmosphere – for even more style and driving pleasure.
Performance: The i8 mates a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder gas engine with a 7.1-kWh battery pack and two electric motors. The engine pairs to a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the electric powertrain mates to a 2-speed automatic. Acceleration is persistent and satisfying, grip is far beyond what most drivers will exploit, and response to steering inputs is quick and accurate. The light weight and power combine to give the i8 the jolt to run to 60 MPH in 4.4 seconds and it accomplishes the more important 50-to-75 MPH passing move in 3 seconds flat.
