BMW’s revolutionary i3 ‘Megacity’ vehicle is now less than a year away from launch and in the lead up to its eventual arrival engineers are hard at work testing prototypes, even putting them through their paces in the extreme heat of Southern Spain.
Our exclusive spy video features one of these prototypes as it travels along some hilly roads, with its lack of sound unmistakable and somewhat eerie when compared to the sound of the internal combustion engine we’re all accustomed to.
If you’re not familiar with the i3, it’s an electric minicar, due sometime in 2013 and most likely billed as a 2014 model. It’s aimed at providing a high degree of urban mobility while still allowing the occasional extra-urban long-distance jaunt if BMW decides to eventually offer a extended-range version.
