BMW’s i8 Electric Supercar Looks Like Sex On Wheels

Gizmodo AU

Wow, and I thought the Tesla Roadster was a good looking electric ride. We’ve seen sneaky spy shots of BMW’s carbon-fibre/aluminium plug-in hybrid before, but it’s now taken centre stage in Germany. Slated for a 2014 release, the i8 has an electric-only range of 34km at the moment, but its 220 horsepower petrol engine will hit 100kph in under 5 seconds. Oh, and it’ll include a similarly-Tron-esque dashboard display and mobile app. Pics and video!

And right behind the Fine X at the Toyota Mega Web was this offering. Great. Just great.

This Cannot Be The Future Of Cars!

Gizmodo AU

I’m really hoping that this turns out to be one of those weird concepts you look back on in 50 years time and say “what the f—k were we thinking here?” and then have a good laugh about how wrong we were back then about the future. This is a Toyota creation on show at Mega Web. It’s called Fine X. And to be honest it’s a very versatile car. But how much is versatility worth?
