The BMW i8 is a plug-in, mid-engined hybrid sports car and was unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show. Is this how the future of cars looks? Watch and let us know below.

The 4.7-metre-long BMW i8 features unusual construction methods, using a carbonfibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) bodyshell sitting on a welded aluminium chassis. BMW claims the i8 can hit 62mph from rest in just 4.4sec with both the engine and electric motor engaged. Top speed — achieved by the petrol engine alone — is 155mph. BMW says this performance is partly thanks to the i8’s relatively low weight of 1490kg and an aerodynamic bodyshell, which has a drag coefficient of 0.26.

It hits 0-62mph in 3.4sec and 0-124mph in 10.4sec. Top speed is 199mph.

It’s the sheer size of the Frankfurt motor show that everyone always talks about. But this year, we could forgive the biannual show purely for the amazing amount of new metal on display. If March’s Geneva motor show was all about hypercars, Frankfurt was all about cars you can buy, and ones that you’d want to buy. And that giant Brabus G-class six-wheeler.

Citroen has introduced its new Cactus concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motorshow. Its designer speaks about Airbump technology and how it is the world’s first car park-proof car.
SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=autocar
Citroën could radically overhaul all its mainstream C-line offerings in the spirit of its Cactus Concept car, revealed at the Frankfurt motor show. It will become the Citroën C4 Cactus when it goes on sale, and be offered alongside the standard car in the same vein as the Citroën C4 Picasso. More Cactus spin-offs of existing models are expected to follow. However, if the new look is deemed a sales success, Citroën officials say that they are optimistic that Cactus cars could eventually replace more mainstream, conventional offerings.
