i8

Far more exotic is a carbon fiber sports car , the i8 plug-in hybrid .

除了电池动力的i3，宝马还推出了一款更洋气的插电式混合动力轿车&宝马i8。这也是一款采用了碳纤维车身的运动轿车。

Performance is eye-popping : The i8 screams to60 mph in4.5 seconds and is capable of getting to a top speed of155 mph .

它的性能令人大开眼界。它只需4.5秒便能狂飙至时速60英里，最高时速可达每小时155英里。

Bill Howard of ExtremeTech estimates the i3 will go for $ 50,000 , and BMW has priced the i8 at around $ 170,000 .

据权威IT网站ExtremeTech的撰稿人比尔•霍华德估计，宝马i3的售价将达50000美元，而宝马给i8的定价为170000美元左右。

But as Tesla fills out its product line with less-expensive models and BMW rolls out the sporty I8 hybrid-electric coupe to go after high rollers , the automakers will increasingly be targeting the same customers .

但是随着特斯拉将产品线扩展到价格较低的车型，同时宝马推出i8油电混合动力轿车以吸引高端客户，这两家厂商难免会日渐瞄准同一群目标客户。

The company will begin selling its i3 and i8 battery-powered models in China in September . And before the end of the year , BMW will begin selling a plug-in hybrid version of its 5 Series , the best-selling of its models in China .

该公司将于9月在中国开售i3和i8电动车型。在今年年底前，宝马将开始销售插电式混合动力的5系车型，该系列是在中国卖得最好的车型。
