Late in 2019, BMW introduced the final iteration of the i8 electric sports car to be released before the model officially goes into retirement, the i8 Ultimate Sophisto. Not only was the i8 the first vehicle made by the company to be outfitted with such a power train, but BMW also claims it “goes down in company history as the world's most successful sports car with electrified drive”, a title given because more than 20,000 units have been sold since the model’s launch in 2014.
