If you think hybrid cars don’t have the ability to pack a punch then you’re sadly mistaken friend. The BMW i8 Concept is a force not to reckoned with. As part of BMW’s experimental hybrid line, just looking at this car suggests the word “experimental” is an understatement. The car utilizes a 131 hp engine to power the front wheels and a turbo-charged 231 hp gas-powered engine that powers the rear wheels (talk about hybrid). This i8 Concept does indeed pack a punch with 0-62 mph in just 5 seconds and a top speed of 155 mpg. And guess what? The car gets about 78 miles per gallon, perfect when gas prices are starting to top $4 a gallon. The price is still to be determined so in the mean time you can ogle the picture we’ve provided for you.
