BMW has revealed the price of its new i8 Roadster. That price is 124,735, exactly 12k more expensive than the regular i8 Coupe. But then, as we"ve surmised both here and indeed here - on the hunt for France"s best road - it is quite special. Developed from the Spyder concept from Beijing back in 2012, the Roadster features the same design cues from the Coupe, including those dihedral doors impressive engineering when there"s no roof and optimised aerodynamic styling, such as the low bonnet, air flap control system, contoured side skirts and Air Curtains". The fabric soft-top roof gets high-level soundproofing and electrically folds in just 15 seconds up to driving speeds of 31mph that"s the quickest in the whole BMW range. Lowering the roof raises the rear windows automatically by 30mm to help reduce air turbulence as well for effortless, hair-controlled cruising.
