duPont REGISTRY™ Names BMW i8 as Best Eco-Exotic

Oct. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- BMW’s i8 concept captured duPont REGISTRY™’s Best Eco-Exotic award in the 2012 EXOTIC CAR BUYERS GUIDE 10th-anniversary edition despite its pre-production status. The i8, which is the first in BMW’s future line of i vehicles, has captured international attention with its futuristic shape and incredible fuel efficiency.

“Part of the concept car’s physical allure also helps it achieve its goal of low fuel consumption through well-developed aerodynamics,” said duPont REGISTRY™ EXOTIC CAR BUYERS GUIDE Editor-In-Chief Benjamin Greene.

The car, which should appear in 2013 as a 2014 model, includes both gasoline and electric drives and has an incredible range of 435 miles.

In addition to its Best Luxury Eco-Exotic award, duPont REGISTRY™ also acknowledged five other automobiles for their contributions to the exotic and luxury car marketplace for 2012 and beyond:
