Is the BMW i8 a mid-engine car?

[ReedMarie]

BMW i8 is a mid-engine car, where the engine's center of gravity is located between the front and rear axles. Mid-engine rear-wheel drive means the engine is placed in the middle and drives the rear wheels, typically with two layouts: front mid-engine and rear mid-engine. The BMW i8 is a hybrid two-door supercar, featuring a dynamic front bumper and a classic radiator grille design, embodying BMW's consistent family philosophy. The rear wheel arches of the BMW i8 are positioned very close to the doors, and the fuel filler cap is placed on the wheel arch. In terms of door design, the production model will abandon the concept car's panoramic gull-wing glass doors, opting instead for conventional gull-wing doors that are slightly smaller in size compared to the concept car's glass doors.
