BMW i8
Euro · BMW
The plug-in hybrid sports car (2014-2020). Scissor doors, turbo three-cylinder plus electric, futuristic design.
The BMW i8 was a plug-in hybrid sports car that paired a turbocharged 1.5 liter three-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a combined output of around 369 horsepower in later cars. With its carbon-fiber construction, scissor doors, and dramatic styling, it looked like a supercar but emphasized efficiency and technology. Produced from 2014 to 2020 as a coupe and roadster, the i8 was a halo car for BMW i sub-brand. It prioritized futuristic design and hybrid innovation over outright power, and its striking looks have made it a modern design icon. On WhipJury, the i8 is a distinctive, head-turning submission.

The BMW roundel is not a spinning propeller. It's the black ring from predecessor Rapp Motorenwerke plus the Bavarian flag colors, inverted to get around a trademark law banning state symbols. The propeller idea came from a 1929 ad, twelve years after the badge was registered, and BMW let the story run.
The 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 looks better today than it did when it was new. The 2002 Pontiac Aztek looks exactly as bad as it did in 2002, possibly worse now that the cultural context that produced it has faded. Both cars are over twenty years old. Only one of them aged. The question of why some cars improve with time and others calcify into their worst qualities is worth taking seriously because the answer tells you something about what good design actually is...
