BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery
We have heard that
BMW has has
registered a series of "i+number trademarks (i1, i2, i3, i4, i5, i6, i7, i8 and i9) to use for its fuel efficient
MegaCity range of vehicles.
BMWBlog is now saying that it has heard a rumor that the combination that will be applied to the upcoming (read: 2013 or 2014) version of the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept will be i8. This makes some sense, as a BMW i8 would conjure up images of the never-seen M8 supercar, but BMWBlog is unconvinced. After all, why bring back memories of gas-guzzling supercars when you're trying to reinvent what one can be? Plus, since the vehicle is so far away, there's probably no name set in stone yet anyway.
Whatever BMW decides on, it'll be better than the name that the car was given when we first saw it at the
Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009. Vision EfficientDynamics is just way, way too long.
