Following the success of the i8 coupé, the i8 Roadster was an inevitable next step. Its engine and performance figures are sure to echo the coupé's, which uses a three-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol engine alongside the electric motor. It makes 357bhp, has a 0-100kph time of 4.4sec and a top speed of 250kph.
A new BMW i3 in both pure electric and range-extender forms have also been announced, with a revised design and battery capacity increased by 50 percent.
