2020 BMW i8 Roadster Specs

BMW i8 Roadster

The i8 Roadster was introduced in 2019 as a soft-top alternative to the i8 Coupe. It’s enjoyed a one-year run that will come to an end in 2020, making it quite rare in terms of production volume, at the least. The two-seater allows for, well, two occupants and makes a considerable sacrifice on trunk space. It comes with commendable convenience and infotainment features that include heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and two 8.8-inch screens. Safety features are on the stingy side, and include frontal-collision warning and pedestrian monitoring.
