BMW has finally released the first official teaser of the BMW i8 Roadster, the open-top hybrid supercar which will be launched in 2018. This will be the third car under the BMW i family alongside the i3 hatchback and i8 sports car. Of course, the teaser doesn’t show the car clearly as it is dark and the car is covered in a camouflaged cloak, but a couple of characteristics can still be picked up.

The gull-wing doors of the two seater are the same as its hardtop sibling. In fact, the fundamental design is similar to the standard i8. The folding roof is in black, and there is likely a folding mechanism that hides behind the seats. No information on its performance has been given and BMW’s official statement reads as follows, “In 2018 the BMW i8 Roadster will unlock the door to a whole new dimension in pioneering open-top driving pleasure – virtually silent and with zero local emissions.”

Take a closer look at the i8 Roadster in the teaser video below before the next batch of details arrives.
