BMW has also revealed an official video of the i8 hybrid supercar, showing enough of the car to create curiosity among people. The interior picture shows the gearshifter, iDrive controller and all-digital instrument console.

Besides BMW i8, the company will showcase the newly-unveiled i3 all-electric car, the 4-Series Coupe, the 2014 X5 SAV and the Concept Active Tourer Outdoor at the event. The i8 also uses a plug-in hybrid system with a three-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor that churns out 367PS and 569Nm of top torque.

The engine is expected to accelerate the vehicle to 100kmph from stand still in less than five seconds. It will deliver an excellent fuel economy of 33.3kmpl, and can travel up to 35km on electricity alone.
