Fancy driving the i8?
This is BMW's fancy pants
electric sports car and
it's coming to a race
track near you! These
experiences at a
selection of race
circuits around the
country give you the
chance to feel all that
electric power under your
feet. You know how
concept cars usually bear
no resemblance to the
actual production car? In
this case the BMW i8
coupe is as delightfully
futuristic looking in the
flesh as it was back in
2008 when the idea of a
plug-in hybrid high
performance BMW was first
introduced to the world.
Back then you'd have
probably said: "It looks
great but it'll never
catch on". And now look
at us. From plug-in city
cars to Formula E racing
electrified motoring is
everywhere. The i8 neatly
shows us that
eco-responsible doesn't
mean boring as you'll
find out when you get to
take the impressive i8
for a spin. Funky
butterfly doors open to
reveal a typically neat
precise and gadget-filled
cockpit. This car
certainly has style
leaning on the sporty
heritage of BMW....

Take the BMW i8 for a
blast and get a taste of
the future of motoring!
This incredible new
hybrid car from BMW sets
the standard for 'green'
driving into the next
decade even though it
looks nothing like what
you might think an
environmentally-friendly
would be like...Let's
face it you wouldn't
think the words hybrid
and BMW would ever be
seen together but since
showing off the concept
car in 2009 the i8 has
grown into a full
production car that
unsurprisingly won Car
Design of the Year in
2014 when it was
unleashed onto the
public.One thing's for
sure as soon as we
clapped eyes on the i8 we
realised that BMW had
completely blown the
image of electric cars
being small and just a
little bit eccentric out
of the water. The BMW i8
is most definitely a
pioneering member of the
saintly supercar
category.So it looks the
part but how does the i8
drive? Well it is
surprisingly agile and
thanks to be four wheel
drive (the electric
motors driving the front

Your BMWi8 driving thrill
is going to be thoroughly
electrifying! These very
unique super driving
experiences available at
North Weald Llandow and
Blyton Park will see you
driving BMW's big plug-in
hybrid car the i8. This
is your chance to taste
the future of motoring.
Indeed electric cars of
tomorrow are right here
right now. They're making
a serious impression on
the tracks at the likes
of North Weald in Essex
Blyton in Lincolnshire
and Llandow race circuit
in South Wales. And not
only that these
Lithium-powered cars are
actually giving quite a
few supercars a run for
their money. Could this
spell the end of the
traditional internal
combustion engine we've
known for decades? Well
yes and no. As well as
the onboard battery this
car actually has an
engine. And this gives
you the best of both
worlds as you'll find out
when you get behind the
BMWi8 on your driving
thrill. If you've never
driven an electric car
before we can bet that
you'll be impressed by
the acceleration. Many of
us think an electric car
will be slow and
sluggish. But far from
it. Think back to the
last time you drove a
Dodgem. As soon as you
put your foot down you're
off maximum 'speed' from
the word go as you lurch
off. And although it's
simplistic (apologies to
BMW i8 boffins) it's kind
of how an electric car
works. In a normal car
engine the mix of fuel
air and spark builds up
gradually to build up
torque gradually. In an
electric car it's all
about electromotive
force. You hit the
throttle fully and you've
got maximum voltage
instantly and therefore
maximum torque straight
away. That's why when you
accelerate in the BMWi8
it goes straight away.
And very quickly at that.
You'll hit 0-60mph on the
likes of the North Weald
circuit in around 4.4
seconds. Impressive isn't
it? Erase the image of
little city cars pootling
around on a full charge
this is fully-charged
electric motoring with
some serious spark as
you'll find out on your
three or six lap BMWi8
driving thrill.

What makes a BMW i8 drive
so different to all the
other sports car
experiences we have on
offer? Well to put it
simply the i8 is an
electric car. But make no
mistake this is not a
teeny car that pootles
around to the supermarket
this is an eco-car that
has serious sports car
looks!Undoubtedly BMW has
pushed the technology
boat well and truly out
with the i8. Originally
appearing on the scene as
the Vision Efficient
Dynamics' concept car
no-one thought the actual
production version would
bear any resemblance to
that crazy design but
we're delighted to say
this road going green car
does indeed look
incredibly futuristic
right down to the amazing
butterfly-opening doors.
And just look at those
seemingly 'floating' rear
panels. Nice.And if
you've seen the film
Mission Impossible IV:
Ghost Protocol you'll
know just how cool this
BMW looks at night. As
hero Ethan Hunt played by
Tom Cruise cruises the
streets of Mumbai in his
newly acquired BMW i8 he
is most definitely
upstaged by th...
