Before the BMW i8 was a hybrid, it was a V10 … and a V8 … and a 6-cylinder

When the BMW i8 official debuted, I was a bit surprised by, well, its lack of power. Carefully sculpted from carbon fiber and aluminum, the i8 has the looks and price tag of a much more powerful car. Turns out, my feelings were on the money, as BMW had toyed with three other powerplants for the i8, including a V10, V8 and a six-cylinder.
