BMW i8 Track Test, Review

We were incredibly impressed with the BMW i8 when we drove it in Italy last year. But what happens when you really put it to the test – when you unleash it at the BIC?

Now, let’s be clear, this is not a track car. It was never intended to be. It certainly looks as impressive as any other supercar out there – if not more so – but it was always intended to offer spirited performance on the road, rather than the track. And we know it does that very well indeed. So, why are we at the track then you ask?

Well, it’s very simple. This is the litmus test! We’ve always said that the racetrack provides truth in engineering better than any place else. And so we’re here to see what happens when you really push this machine to the limit. Do the incredibly svelte lines make promises that the driving experience can’t cash?
