Somewhere around the 14th day, electric-hybrid sports-cars were invented. Although it took a while, even as complete petrol heads, we're pretty damn happy about it. This week we delve into the life and times of the BMW i8 Roadster. Since first being unveiled at the Beijing Motorshow in 2012 as the i8 concept spyder - the BMW i8 Roadster has undergone some significant development. Despite this, the vehicle hasn't lost any of its original impact. The i8 Roadster is interesting for a number of reasons. One is that its design looks almost as good as any other supercar (depending on the day & angle, of course) and two - its incredibly comfortable, fast and economical. Plus it's half electric and much better for the environment than your usual V8 or V12 supercars. Although not as popular as a petrol supercar rental to most, the new BMW i8 Roadster will be sure to change some opinions the moment you put your foot down.
