NEW YORK, US - For the second time in succession a BMW i car has won the World Car Awards in the category World Green Car.
Following the success of the battery-driven BMW i3 in 2014 the just-launched-in-SA BMW i8 was awarded this prestigious accolade at the New York International auto show.
The sports car's combination of ground-breaking plug-in hybrid drive technology and innovative lightweight construction together with its avant-garde design was honoured by the international jury at the World Car Awards. The i8 was also one of the finalists in the category World Luxury Car at the World Car Awards 2015.
