BMW i8 Spyder leaks ahead of Beijing

BMW i8 Spyder What looks set to be the BMW i8 Spyder, an open top version of BMW’s i8 eco supercar, has leaked ahead of a debut at the Beijing Motor Show. The gestation period for BMW’s i8 eco supercar started with the reveal of the BMW Vision ED Concept back in 2009, with a production concept – and the BMW i8 name – arriving last summer. And now, ahead of a debut at the Beijing Motor Show in April we get the first photos of the BMW i8 Spyder.

Which explains Peugeot’s decision to put together special editions of the 207CC and 308CC with a bit of ‘Tennis’ thrown in to the mix with ‘Roland Garros’ badges (Peugeot are sponsors of the French Open at Roland Garros) The Peugeot 207 CC Roland Garros comes in either Onyx Black or Bianca White with a choice of the 1.6 litre VTi or the 1.6 litre HD 112 diesel.
