The unveiling of BMW's 2014 i3 light car is nearly upon us, at last, and now the carmaker has revealed a number of key technical details for the new electric hatch.
As promised, the i3 will be offered in two forms: the pure-electric version first previewed in 2011, and the range-extended petrol-electric version revealed earlier this year.
In both cases, electric motivation is provided by a 125kW/250Nm rear-mounted motor (just like the concept), sending power to the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission.
