Check how the new Drive Booster from Vector Tuning works with BMW i8 Coupe (I12)!

17. 03. 2023.

The BMW i8 (development designation l12 for coupé , l15 for roadster) is a plug -in hybrid sports car from BMW. Production ended in 2020 with the delivery of eighteen vehicles.

The design of the BMW i8 coupe prototype was based on the BMW i8 Concept. The model-specific plug-in hybrid system of the BMW i8, developed and manufactured by the BMW Group, consists of a compact 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with turbocharger , an electric drive and a lithium-polymer battery that can also be charged at conventional household sockets.

The combustion engine sits at the rear and drives with a maximum torque of 320 Nm and an output of 170 kW (231 hp) to the rear wheels. The electric motor with a rated output of 96 kW (131 hp) (from May 2018 105 kW (143 hp)) and 250 Nm of torque transmits its power to the front axle.
The total output is 266 kW (362 hp) (from May 2018 275 kW (374 hp)), which accelerates the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 s (Coupé; Roadster 4.6 s) and an electronic limited top speed of 250 km/h.

The Drive Booster Throttle Pedal Module intercepts the signal from the device. Signal is sent between the accelerator pedal and the engine. It takes the signal from the Throttle Pedal sent the signal, modifies it and send it to the engine and outputs a modified signal to the engine management. It's also known in some countries as windbooster, pedal box, pedal responder, idrive, electronic throttle controller, etc. Faster engine response, throttle delay elimination, better performance are some of the beneefits. Drive Booster Module eliminates throttle lag and increases the response of the throttle pedal, but does not change the torque output of your vehicle.

The Drive Booster Tuning set has 3 main tuning programs, POWER, SPORT and ECO and additional one standard program without tuning.
