To put an extremely long sentence into perspective, German automaker BMW understands how important it is for a supercar to roar and has given its brainchild, the BMW i8, a distinct growl. When switched into Sport Mode, the car begins to produce quite an ear-pleasing sound, despite the fact that it possesses a smaller gas-powered engine.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThat apart, the BMW i8 will also come packed with three different &#8220;tones&#8221; of virtual engine sound, each depending on the car\u2019s mode selected, Comfort, Sport, or Eco Pro drive. The new bimmer comes with a price tag of $135,700 upwards and will be hit streets by June 2014.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bmw-i8-2-590x354.jpg\" alt=\"bmw-i8-2\" width=\"590\" height=\"354\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bmw-i8-2-590x354.jpg 590w, https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bmw-i8-2-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bmw-i8-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zkgXnEQvLk8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[Via &#8211;
