BMW i8 in WebGL

Porsche[1] and Renault[2] did something similar lately. It's great to see WebGL used for this in production. Honestly, I'm surprised it took so long. Visualizing cars with WebGL seems like a no brainer, especially when most current websites load dozens of images for their "360° views".

I remember waiting 30 minutes for a crappy vrml model of the Enterprise to download over a 28k modem years ago. This is both impressive, and makes me feel very old.

Exactly! Now this loads on my phone!

To whoever it was a few weeks back who said it looks like the i8 was "giving birth to a Porsche", you were right: Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it.

As this visualization demonstrates in nice 3d form.
