The 2018 BMW i8 Roadster will go on-sale next year, becoming the brand’s first mass-produced open-top all-electric car.
WITH THE TESLA Roadster no more, there’s been a gap in the market for an open-top all-electric convertible. And, while Tesla is concentrating, and quite rightly too, on the production of mass market vehicles, like the Model 3, BMW has teased its i8 Roadster.
In a one-sentence statement, it said: “BMW i is looking forward to welcoming the third member of the BMW i family. In 2018 the BMW i8 Roadster will unlock the door to a whole new dimension in pioneering open-top driving pleasure – virtually silent and with zero local emissions”.
