7. BMW i8

The BMW i8 looks as though it drove off the set of a Sci-Fi film. Swan wing doors, a shark nose grille, carbon fiber sills, and lighted accents that glow at night cause the i8 to grab attention anywhere it goes. The i8 is more than just a gorgeous supercar, it’s also a plug-in hybrid. Under the hood is a turbocharged three-cylinder engine teamed with two electric motors for a combined 357 horsepower. Able to get to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and with a top speed of 155 mph, the i8 is as powerful as it is attractive. Fuel economy is less than 30 mpg, but in traffic the electric motors take over to conserve fuel. The i8 has a great synergy between electric and gas modes, so you can open her up when the roads are clear and save precious fuel when you’re forced to go slow.
