What kind of engine will the 2025 i8 have?
The i8 is a plug-in hybrid. This means it has a petrol engine – mated to a six-speed Steptronic transmission – and an electric motor – with a two-speed automatic gearbox – powered by a lithium-ion battery. The i8 occupied a very specific niche. It was a low-slung, two-door coupe and roadster with limited storage space and two small rear seats best suited for luggage. This made it impractical as a daily driver for many. Its target audience was always small, and as the initial wow factor faded, sales inevitably slowed.The i8 can be driven on pure electric power, or petrol power, or a combination of both. If driven on electric power only, the car is front-wheel drive. If driven on petrol power only, it’s rear-wheel drive. If driven progressively, when petrol and electric power sources are used, then the i8 is all-wheel drive.
