BMW i8 Crashes into Snowbank During Winter Testing

Looks like you can't drive these cars in adverse weather.






The snow banks created around tracks in Sweden have claimed yet another car during winter testing. After the Audi S1 quattro wedged deep in snow last month, this BMW i8 had done the same.

The i8 was stuck in the snow today after the driver went off the test road inside BMW's winter testing facility. A 7 Series prototype arrived on the scene but could do nothing to pull its hybrid brother back onto the road.

The i8 doesn't have a tow lug at the back, so pulling it out will require specialist equipment. Our spy photographer told us that heavy vehicles had to be brought in in order to clear the snow away before access to the stranded car could be found.
