How Many Cylinders Does the BMW i8 Have?
1 Answers
The newly produced BMW i8 engine is a three-cylinder. The next-generation BMW i8 will incorporate a four-cylinder engine and enhance the performance of the electric motor, significantly improving the power performance of the current i8. More relevant information is as follows: Debut: The BMW i8 made its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, pioneering the use of a three-cylinder engine in the supercar segment. However, a farewell might be in order as changes are expected in the near future. According to BMW, the next-generation BMW i8 will receive an upgraded powertrain. While there won't be a fully electric version, it will certainly gain more power and torque. Powertrain: The new BMW i8 is expected to be built with a 450-horsepower powertrain. To achieve this, BMW will have to replace the current 228-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine with a more powerful 300-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine.
