This has to be lifted from some internal BMW models, though - or maybe the creator wants to get a job there?
Plenty of BMW i8 models out there: http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm?featureID=5360209... This was done by PlayCanvas, so the goal is marketing of their platform / engine.

#102MIND BLOWN - this is using WebGL? Unbelievable! The only thing I wish it had was more interactions, but as is it demonstrates that WebGL is not just a toy, but something to be taken more seriously in the GL community.
What, have you never seen a WebGL demo before?

It already is taken seriously. WebGL is merely a variant of OpenGL ES for JavaScript. Heck, the whole of Unity and the Unreal Engine can run on it.

#104Ah, the car that fakes internal combustion engine noise when it's running on electric... No thanks. Nice demo though!
Cars are legally required to do so, aren't they? Otherwise, electric vehicles would be quiet enough to kill people.

Unity and Unreal Engine don't support the mobile browser.

Interesting. That's presumably just due to performance issues, there shouldn't be a technical reason.

I think the design has a few too many un-necessary flourishes, and it probably won't age very well. It definitely grabs your attention, but in a few years when electric cars are less rare I bet it will look kind of gimmicky.
I think the design antitheses of the i8 is the Nissan Leaf. It costs 1/4 as much, and has a little less than 1/3 the horsepower. However, its also visually indistinguishable from other sub-compacts. The Leaf is for people who don't want to notice that their car is electric. I can see why someone who spends $130K doesn't want to just blend in with traffic.

#109You wouldn't download a car?
I only every see it as 'download' in comments.

#110You wouldn't download a car?
Im just curious, do people know that the original is actually "You wouldn't steal a car?" I only every see it as 'download' in comments.
