Recenly, we learned that BMW
won’t launch a standalone supercar as part of its centenary
celebrations in 2016, but the automaker is sure to have something special to
mark the milestone. Perhaps that something will simply be a convertible version
of the i8 plug-in hybrid sports car.
BMW has already previewed such a car in the form
of the i8 Spyder concept, which was rolled
out in 2012. Reports out of Germany claim the production version is coming
soon, though before it arrives we’re likely to see another concept version.
According to Auto Express, a new i8
Spyder concept will be rolled out at next month’s 2016 Consumer Electronics
Show. Automakers in recent years have been using the Las Vegas event to preview
their future tech and the new i8 Spyder concept is said showcase some of BMW’s
upcoming connectivity and safety features.
The British publication also reports that the i8 Spyder
concept may preview some of the changes planned for an upcoming mid-cycle
update of the i8, such as subtle visual tweaks plus improved power and range. The
current i8 delivers a peak 362 horsepower and an electric range of
approximately 23 miles.
