The upcoming BMW i4 sedan has been snapped testing on the streets of Munich, wearing a silhouette not dissimilar to that of the 4 Series Gran Coupe.
Built on the BMW CLAR architecture, the four-door coupe will lob with a driving range of 600km on the tricky WLTP drive cycle. Impressive. It'll hit 100km/h in 4.0 seconds, and keep pulling beyond 200km/h.
Production will start in 2021 at BMW's factory in Munich. As for how we know all this? Well, the company has told us. Makes life easy, right?

We know the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is fast. It set a Nurburgring lap record in 2017, lapping the Green Hell in just 6:47.3 with Lars Kern behind the wheel. Lamborghini has since taken it back, but that's besides the point...
