That is impressive for an electric/hybrid sportscar.

Not a bad looking car, however:

BMW i8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pricing for the 2015 BMW i8 destined for the U.S. market starts at US$135,925 (€103,000 or GB£86,800) including destination and handling fees and before any applicable government incentives. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2014.

The BMW i8's second power source is a hybrid synchronous electric motor specially developed and produced by the BMW Group for BMW i. The electric motor develops maximum power of 131 hp (96 kW) and produces its maximum torque of around 236 lb-ft (320 nm) from standstill. Typical of an electric motor, responsive power is instantly available when starting and this continues into the higher load ranges. As well as providing a power boost to assist the gasoline engine during acceleration, the electric motor can also power the vehicle by itself. Top speed in electric mode is approximately 75 mph (121 km/h), with a maximum driving range of up to 22 mi (35 km).

Frankly... Unimpressed.

If it's like the 335i it's not a pop-up...it's fixed. Just looks that way.

They are talking of coming out with a Super car, M8. Looks similar to the i8 but with 680 HP. Say a couple of renditions of how it would look. The price tag puts it way out of reach. Projected cost was $330,000.
