BMW's electric sports car is already special, however, the Bavarian brand decided to raise the bar by presenting the limited edition Protonic Red. Only with changes to the interior and exterior aesthetic level, the BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition intends to stand out even more face-to-face to the rest of the range.
On the outside, the novelties include Protonic Red paint and various applications in Frozen Gray metallic tone, the 20-inch wheels in light alloy are painted in Aluminum Matte and Orbit Gray Metallic. Moving on to the interior, we find several applications in carbon fiber and ceramic, from the door handles to the dashboard and center console. The seats have “i8” engraved headrests and red seams, which also extend to the dashboard and rugs.SEE ALSO: This is the most powerful BMW 7 Series ever
