Things were already brewing in Munich back in 2009 when BMW showed the world their new Vision EfficientDynamics concept at the Frankfurt Auto Show. EfficientDynamics was the group’s new umbrella name for a basket of technologies that would help the internal combustion engine use less fuel. Two years later, at the 2011 Frankfurt Show, BMW finally showed its hand. The new i8 Concept not only clarified the new sports car’s name, but also the final looks. It’s one of the few cars that made the transition from concept to reality looking mostly the same.
