Only one customer in Singapore has the opportunity to experience electrically powered driving pleasure laced with added exclusivity, now that the BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Yellow Edition has been introduced to Singapore. The Protonic Frozen Black Edition is also available here in Singapore exclusively for one customer.
The i8 Protonic Frozen Yellow Edition features a BMW Individual Protonic Frozen yellow exterior paint finish with Frozen Grey metallic highlights and 20 inch W-Spoke style BMW i light alloy wheels, which accentuate the avant-garde exterior design and styling of the vehicle.
The exclusive interior package unique to the i8 Frozen Edition range includes dark NESO seats with woven yellow and anthracite stitching as well as the headrests-embossed BMW i8 logos, contrasted with grey safety belts, floor mats with black leather piping and yellow highlights, door sills with the integrated aluminum plate and Edition lettering, the gearshift lever trim and central control unit in black ceramic.
All i8 limited-edition models feature BMW’s internationally awarded 3-cylinder combustion engine with an output of 231hp that propels the rear wheels and a 96kW electric motor that powers the front whwheels. The motor draws its energy from a lithium-ion battery that can be charged from a conventional domestic power socket.
This bespoke plug-in hybrid system, developed and produced by the BMW Group, enables a range of up to 37 kilometres and a top speed of 120km/h on electric power alone, coupled with a “glued-to-the-road” all-wheel driving experience headlined by powerful acceleration and a dynamically biased distribution of power through fast corners.
The retail price for the BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Yellow Edition or its Protonic Frozen Black sibling is $603,800.
