A new compact car has been spotted that bears a striking resemblance to the fully electric i3, complete with a sporty inline-six engine and a four-outlet exhaust system, blending traditional performance elements with its modern design. The vehicle’s exterior styling mirrors the i3’s clean, minimalist aesthetic, though its mechanical underpinnings suggest a more powerful, combustion-driven character. Automotive enthusiasts and industry watchers are likely to take note of this intriguing hybrid of electric and internal combustion design cues. Details on its powertrain, performance, and whether it will compete directly with the i3 remain unclear.


It looks a lot like the fully electric i3, but it packs a beefy inline-six and a quad exhaust.
