The BMW I8 is a battery-electric model that proved EVs could be desirable. On Tinvibe, the I8 lives on as a laser-cut steel silhouette — the single clean outline that lets the model's real proportions do the talking.

Design language and the silhouette

A smooth, aero-sculpted shape with a closed grille and flush handles. Because we cut every Tinvibe piece from 2 mm steel to the car's true outline, the traits that make the BMW I8 recognizable — its roofline, stance and key details — are exactly what the metal keeps, in matte black powder coat across five sizes from 50 cm to 140 cm.

Why the I8 endures

They mark the pivot point in how cars are powered. For the BMW I8 that combination has kept the name in conversation well beyond its production run.

Production and sales: what we can and can't say

Tinvibe is a design studio, not an archive: we do not publish production totals, sales figures or exact launch dates for the I8, and we would rather say so than guess. For verified figures, the manufacturer's own heritage pages and model archives are the reliable source. What we can vouch for is the design itself — the silhouette our artists work from is drawn to the car's real proportions.

We cut the BMW I8 as a single, clean outline in matte black. The 2 designs below are drawn directly from our catalogue for this nameplate — each rendered to the car's true proportions.
