The i8 Spyder concept serves two purposes: It previews a drop-top version of BMW's pioneering hybrid supercar, due in 2014, and gives us a glimpse at a more production-ready interior. A shorter wheelbase than the fixed-roof i8, and two seats instead of four help tighten up the proportions. The result is breathtaking. The body and chassis are still made of aluminium and carbon fiber, and power still comes from a 220-hp, 1.5-liter engine at the back and a 129-hp electric motor at the front, resulting in a 0-62 mph of fewer than 5 seconds, but the Spyder has an extra trick up its sleeve. Lift the rear deck, and concealed below are a pair of electric scooters, so you won't have to walk after you park.
