The exclusive BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Black Edition

The exclusive BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Black Edition

Date: 2017-09-07

Customers wanting to experience electrically-powered driving pleasure laced with added exclusivity now have the opportunity with the introduction of 12 units of the BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Black Edition in South Africa.

First unveiled at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show 2017, the exclusive limited run special edition is the second of its kind for the BMW i8, following the introduction of the Protonic Red Edition in 2016.

The new BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Black Edition features a BMW Individual Protonic Frozen Black 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.

All BMW i8 limited edition models features the internationally awarded BMW i8 three-cylinder combustion engine with an output of 170kW that propels the rear wheels and a 96kW electric motor which draws its energy from a lithium-ion battery that can be charged from a conventional domestic power socket and send its power to the front axle. This bespoke plug-in hybrid system, developed and produced by the BMWGroup, enables a range of up to 37kilometres 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 keenly taken corners.
