QUICK & CLEAN: BMW'S 18 HYBRID OFFERS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

摘要

AS THE WORLD TRANSITIONS from gasoline to whatever comes next, we expect many interim propulsion sources. This doesn't necessarily mean a Toyota Prius in every driveway. A chosen few can have their cake, eat it and then drive one of these. Consider the BMW i8, the German carmaker's best combination of ecology and flat-out fun-it's a hybrid-electric sports car that can maximize both elements. Imagine a really, really fast, good-looking Prius. Actually, no, don't think of it that way. Imagine a hypercar like the Porsche 918, McLaren PI or LaFerrari costing only one-sixth as much. The world's fourth-fastest hybrid. And even in fourth place, it's still fast.
