BMW i8: The Sports Car That Vanished
5 Jul
Summary
- BMW discontinued the i8 sports car after 2020.
- The i8 was praised for its luxury and aesthetics.
- BMW has not officially stated reasons for discontinuation.
The German automaker BMW has been increasingly shifting towards electric vehicles (EVs) across its global markets. As part of this transition, BMW introduced its "i" brand, which currently features four all-electric models.
Among these was the BMW i8, a unique sports car that first appeared for the 2014 model year. This vehicle garnered positive attention for its striking design and luxury appeal. However, production of the i8 concluded after the 2020 model year.
BMW has not provided a specific public reason for discontinuing the i8. This lack of official explanation has led to speculation about the factors contributing to its relatively short production run, despite its initial acclaim.
