BMW i8 - does anyone make one?

[MitchT]

I'm surprised to be unable to find a scale model of a BMW i8. There's a model of the 'Efficient Dynamics' concept, but no models of the production i8 thus far. In many cases scale models are available before the real thing has been officially launched. Does anyone know of an i8 model, either available or forthcoming?

To my knowledge none yet. Agreed, the EfficientDynamics concept is around (I have one in 1/43 - don't think it was made in 1/18).

The newest Lifestyle Catalogue lists the one above (£21), but no info re an i8. There's a 1/14 ED Concept remote control car though (£45).

I do have a bit of a penchant for BMW 1/18 models, so as soon as I find out, I'll let you know. Not sure who will make it, Paragon seem to have taken the licence from Kyosho for the newer models.

Seems slightly odd - I though model companies would be all over getting an i8 out. Anyway, 'heads-up' appreciated if you spot one before me!

Most recent BMW lifestyle catalogue has the i8 listed in 1/18 size in either white or blue. Available from Feb 2015 apparently.
