BMW I8 Design

You hear a lot of different concept cars that the big car brands come up with but sometimes it takes years before you can actually get your hands on one. My love affair for concept cars go way back. I'm like a kid where I always want that shiny new toy that no on else has. My new concept car that I've fallen in love with is the BMW I8. You may know this car as it was featured in the latest Mission Impossible movie. Once you take a look at this car it is hard not to find something wrong with it. From it's sleek design to its unique doors, the BMW I8 to me looks like the car of the future. My question is how much will it cost and when can I get one? If there's one thing I know though is that if I want one I better start saving up now as we all know it will be pricey. Below are some pictures of the design of the BMW I8.

BMW Design Process

If there is one thing I love about cars are the new designs that come out every year. I think one of the leaders in car design is BMW. To me I consider them the Apple of car makers. They take every detail of a car into consideration and everything needs to be perfect. I remember when I was younger and had a BMW and how much I loved that car. Recently I saw a TV show on CNBC that was dedicated to BMW and it really interested me how they designed the car from the computer graphics to the life size clay car models that allow them to test new designs. I recently found a video online that shows the design of some of their 2012 models and wanted to share it with you. It really is interesting to see how they work up these designs.
