This BMW i8 Was Flipped By A Journalist In Mexico

According to reports, a journalist flipped this BMW i8 in Mexico during a test drive. Little is currently known about why and how this sorry sight came to be...

These images - courtesy of Wrecked Exotics - show the aftermath of a serious cock up (probably) of a journalist in Mexico.

Following an incident, the BMW i8 (itself an incredibly stable, low and wide hybrid supercar) landed on its roof, revealing its aerodynamic belly and a pair of dihedral doors that won’t open fully because there’s a whole lot of ground in the way.

Presumably, the journalist in Mexico was stuck in the car for quite some time, which would have given him plenty to think about.

Not a nice sight to behold.


Speaking of those doors... How do the people inside get out in case of an incident like this? Safety flaw...?

If they anything like the Mercs, they should have hinges that detach and let the doors fall.

Yeah,the hinges sort of self explode if the car flips upside down.
