From Automobile Magazine:
It came with a really clumsy name — Vision EfficientDynamics — and a very complicated surface design with entirely too many unrealistic show-car details (few really want to travel in a glass-sided car), but we and many of the industry’s top designers were greatly impressed by BMW’s 2009 Frankfurt show concept car. Four years later, with a simple Apple-like name — i8 — and simplified (but definitely not Apple-like) surfaces, BMW’s extreme expression of a possible and probable future for the automobile is a brilliant reality.
