Rumors of a more powerful version of the i8 have been circulating in the interwebs and today we get the record straight: there is no powerful BMW i8 S model in the works.

Official: No Powerful BMW i8 S Model in the works

People got super excited with the possibility of it having a 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder engine and a look that we haven’t seen in roads before. It was an exciting mix of efficiency and sportiness — like how a proper hybrid should be.

According to BMW i8 Product Manager, Marcus Pluntke, in an interview with Car Advice at the event launching the i8 Roadster, there is no “S” version coming out.

“Customers are very happy with the performance it has. Especially as it is so quick, you know the electric motor’s response is like immediately, like reading your mind, and that is what customers really ask for in a sports car,” said Pluntke. “They don’t say ‘ooh, I need more power’ quite the opposite they say ‘It’s so fast on public roads. I can’t believe how quick it reacts and how quick it is,” he added.
