Sources & notes

This record describes the stated 2020 U.S. i8 Coupe Ultimate Sophisto Edition only. Other model years, body styles and powertrains require their own specifications.
Fuel economy and range use the exact EPA model-year and configuration record. Wheel-specific EPA ratings are named explicitly; preliminary BMW estimates are not substituted.
Metric dimensions are converted from BMW’s published U.S. inches using 25.4 mm per inch; conversion does not increase source precision.
Exact 2020 Ultimate Sophisto Edition U.S. specifications are used for the coupe or roadster body. The edition changes exterior/interior equipment; EPA certifies each standard i8 body/powertrain. The photographed car may not depict this limited-edition finish. Production ended in June 2020.
PHEV MPGe uses EPA cityA08/highwayA08/combA08, not the utility-factor-weighted phevCity/phevHwy/phevComb fields. The 18-mile charge-depleting range may include gasoline use, as EPA marks this configuration blended.
