Knowing how much the BMW Group loves expanding into new segments these days, it would be more surprising if they didn’t develop a second PHEV, or maybe even a pure-electric sports car, after the i8.
The possibilities are endless, but we see two potential openings: a smaller i4 or a hotter M-badged and –prepped “i” model. Perhaps BMW could do both in one, as in a new i4 PHEV or EV coupe with a top-end M version named i4 M.
South African automotive designer Idries Noah aptly named this design concept the BMW iM (sorry Scion), without making his intentions clear about where this car would fit in the Bavarian firm’s lineup or whether it was styled to run on electricity alone or with the help of internal combustion engine as in the i8, so take your pick.
Thanks to Idries Noah for sharing his design!
