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!
You might remember that a few months ago, Brisbane made headlines for something decidedly un-flood related. The city was in talks with British telecommunications company i3 to facilitate the laying of superfast broadband in the city’s sewage pipes.
