This 2017 BMW i8 listed on Bring a Trailer is a Protonic Frozen Yellow edition finished in (you guessed it)  Protonic Frozen Yellow with an unspecified interior (bringing a unique visual presence to the platform). The listing shows approximately 28,000 milesand includes standard features for this model year. 

The powertrain combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-three gasoline engine driving the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transaxle with an electric motor driving the front wheels through a two-speed automatic transmission, for a combined output of approximately 357 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The i8 uses carbon-fiber and aluminum structural elements as part of its lightweight design. 

Standard exterior elements for the 2017 i8 include gull-wing doors, LED headlights, and 20-inch alloy wheels (style may vary by example). Its aerodynamic bodywork integrates active air flaps and sculpted surfaces characteristic of the i-series design language. 

The e-drive hybrid system includes a lithium-ion battery pack that powers the front electric motor, allowing short all-electric operation and contributing to combined fuel economy figures around 28 MPG equivalent. The vehicle’s drivetrain affords all-wheel drive capability and a factory-limited top speed near 155 mph. 

This example on Bring a Trailer is offered with details on the vehicle’s equipment, and while modifications unique to this listing may be present, the core technical configuration reflects the 2017 i8 coupe platform’s hybrid sports performance package.
