This, ladies and gentlemen, is the BMW i8 Ultimate Sophisto Edition and it makes us really very sad indeed. Now, it doesn"t make us sad because it"s a shameless example of slapping a different paint job on a car and calling it a special edition (although that remains infuriating). The principle source of our sorrow comes from the fact BMW has confirmed the Ultimate Sophisto Edition will be one of the last i8s ever, with production of the hybrid sports car coming to an end for good in April 2020. This is a real shame. The i8 remains a fantastic car, especially after its mid-life update. With a combined 374bhp from its electric motor and 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine the numbers aren"t huge, but the ride quality and feel are fantastic plus, it"s just so different to anything else on the market.
