BMW delivers first BMW i8 Sports Car in Singapore.

 BMW Asia has introduced the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, a premium compact class model that skillfully blends comfort and functionality of space with the trademark BMW strengths of dynamism, style and elegance. Following on from the Coupé as the second member of the new BMW 2 Series range, the harmoniously proportioned Active Tourer oozes sportiness from every angle. Measuring just 4,342 millimetres long, 1,800 millimetres wide and 1,555 millimetres in height, it combines compact dimensions on the outside with a strikingly spacious feel on the inside, making it perfectly suited to cope with the growing challenges of urban mobility.

The BMW i8 - the first BMW plug-in hybrid sports car built with the revolutionary LifeDrive architecture and advanced lightweight material like carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic (CFRP), is now available at Performance Motors Ltd.  The BMW i8 features the latest BMW EfficientDynamics technology, including a rear-mounted 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology that can generate up to 231hp and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. It also features a hybrid synchronous electric motor that can channel a maximum output of 131hp and maximum torque of up to 250 Nm to its front wheels via a two-stage transmission, during which it is capable of delivering zero tailpipe emissions.
