Overview of 2017 BMW I8 Protonic Red Edition For Sale by Owner

Today’s BMW i-badged cars are well-known for their distinctive styling, all-electric powertrains and above all, quintessential BMW personality. But did you know that the i8 was the first model that started the legacy, way back in 2014? Inspired by BMW’s Vision EfficientDynamics concept car of 2009, the i8 Concept came two years later, in 2011. Then, BMW stunned the world in 2014 when it released the production i8 in essentially unchanged form. Today, this quirky spaceship-esque car makes for a fine sports car to own and drive. It’s got a sophisticated hybrid powertrain, can do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, and looks like nothing else. What’s even sweeter is that we’ve got this 2017 BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition for sale right now. Just 100 units of this special edition were made, of which only 15 made it to the United States – and here’s one of those cars, residing in Fairfix, Virginia right now.

Exterior and Interior

Coated in Protonic Red paint, this 2017 BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition features Frozen Gray Metallic contrast elements for a distinctive, two-tone appearance. At the front, the BMW Laserlight laser headlamps cut through the darkness with verve as this superbly aerodynamic machine slides through the air with nary a ripple. If not for the 20-inch BMW light alloy wheels in Orbit Gray Metallic, you’d swear that this was a craft from outside this world. The interior of this 2017 BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition can seat two adults and two children. It’s got red powered and heated front seats, an Anthracite headliner, BMW floor mats, and carbon fiber plus ceramic interior trim. Get comfortable with the dual-zone automatic climate control, have some tunes pumping through the Harman/Kardon speaker system, and you’re ready to roll. The BMW Active Driving Assistant is also present for enhanced safety and awareness.

Engine

Driving the rear wheels of this 2017 BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. The front wheels also spin via an electric motor. All in all, this car can reportedly develop up to 357hp and 420lb-ft. With all systems operating at full tilt, 0-60 is achievable in 4.4 seconds, according to official BMW testing, and the top speed is capped at 155 mph. Alternatively, you can drive around at speeds of up to 75mph for up to 20 miles on electric power alone.

Current Ask
SOLD

For years, the BMW Z4 M40i has occupied a sweet spot in the modern roadster world: compact, rear-wheel drive, open-top, and powered by BMW’s turbocharged inline-six. The Handschalter Edition takes that formula and pushes it much closer to the sort of sports car enthusiasts have been asking BMW to build. Instead of relying on an automatic, this 2026 BMW Z4 M40i Handschalter Edition pairs its 3.0L turbocharged inline-six with a 6-speed manual transmission, restoring a level of involvement that has become increasingly rare in modern performance cars. Finished in San Remo Green Metallic over Cognac Vernasca leather, this example also brings together the Handschalter, Premium, Driving Assistance, and Shadowline packages, along with adaptive M suspension, an M Sport differential, red-calipered M Sport brakes, a head-up display, Harman Kardon surround sound, and 19-inch M wheels. It is a specification that blends traditional roadster character with modern BMW performance, making it as appealing for a back-road drive as it is for a top-down weekend cruise.

$31,500

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG P31 comes from an era when AMG was still willing to put a huge naturally aspirated V8 into a compact luxury sedan, and that formula is exactly why the W204 C 63 has become such an enthusiast favorite. This example goes a step further with the desirable P31 AMG Development Package, which brings increased output, a 174-mph top-speed limiter, a carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler, and red-painted brake calipers. Finished in Palladium Silver Metallic over Black leather, it also carries a limited-slip differential, Multimedia Package, Lane Tracking Package, and KEYLESS-GO. Showing approximately 115,211 miles, this is the kind of C 63 that appeals to buyers who want the old-school AMG experience: big-displacement V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis with plenty of attitude.
