The original i3 , which debuted in 2013 and ended production in 2022, featured an unusual (for BMW, at least) tall-and-narrow shape and unorthodox engineering, including a body structure made in part from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. More than 250,000 were made during the i3’s nine-year production run.
Now though it has been revealed that a Matt Vermillion Carbon and Matt Red exterior paint finish costs an eye-watering $360,000. Being a plug-in hybrid, the flagship Bugatti uses an 800-volt architecture, which should bring fast charging, although the company hasnt released data on charging times. That’s just for the paint!
The colliders carbon footprints are also on the minds of physicists. When both types of particles are first produced from their sources, they start off at a comparatively low energy, around 4 giga-electron volts. But now is when physicists and engineers are making key scientific and engineering decisions about whats coming next.
