BMW has announced that its Leipzig plant is currently producing the last 200 vehicles of the limited Ultimate Sophisto Edition of the BMW i8. This will mark the end of the production of the i8 model.
One of the limited edition models was already manufactured in December 2019 as the 20,000th unit of the plug-in hybrid model. The BMW i8 has already outstripped many a legendary BMW sports by far, with sales figures are well ahead of classics such as the BMW M, of which only 399 units were produced for road use. The i8's sales volume is also ahead of the BMW Z8 roadster, which was built around 5,000 times.
The i8 was the BMW Group's first plug-in hybrid model and paved the way for driving pleasure that was as dynamic as it was sustainable, becoming the epitome of driving with electrified drive technology.
