According To Khabar Khodro, BMW is expecting new i8 plug-in hybrid supercar's largest markets to be the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. Notable for its absence in that list is everybody's favorite market, China.
BMW will be showing a production version of its new i8 plug-in hybrid at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.
A German-language publication, spoke with the i8's product manager, Hendrik Wenders, who declared, "The US will be by far the largest sales market for the i8." Wenders stops short of actual mentioning what percentage of i8 sales will be in the US, but does mention that it should arrive in showrooms around the world in about nine months. The simultaneous rollout will occur in 50 different countries.
