    The hybrid would have had all-wheel drive like the i8 - but BMW envisaged the concept of having more than 600 horsepower. The i8, on the other hand, has always been criticized for being underpowered… Image Credit: BMW

    It promised a 0-100kph sprint in 3.0 seconds, a top speed of 300kph and a BOOST+ button which would unlock even more power. Total electric range was around 100km. Image Credit: BMW

    It was a chance for the brand to show off its latest technology too as the car featured Laser Wire headlights and tail lights, facial recognition, and sustainable microfiber but BMW has quietly shelved the project with many citing that it just didn’t make sense in a post-pandemic world.
