BMW i3 Coupe Concept live in Los Angeles Auto Show
The BMW i3 Concept Coupe is a two-door version, "stream flow" design wrapping its LifeDrive architecture and Life Module cabin.
The carbon-fibre body's visual impact is largely shaped by the gracefully flowing coupe roof line, that saves weight while adding safety strength.
Measuring 3,964 millimetres in length, 1,768 wide and 1,555 high, the BMW i3 Concept Coupe can be noted for its highly individual proportions.
The rear wheels are driven by an electric motor that produces 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft and power is sends to the rear wheels via a single-gear transmission.
The motor's energy source is a lithium-ion battery pack in the car's floor, which sits low to the ground to improve the car's center of gravity for optimal handling.
