The snow banks created around tracks in Sweden have claimed yet another car during winter testing. After the Audi S1 quattro wedged deep in snow last month, this BMW i8 had done the same.
The i8 was stuck in the snow today after the driver went off the test road inside BMW's winter testing facility. A 7 Series prototype arrived on the scene but could do nothing to pull its hybrid brother back onto the road.

The i8 doesn't have a tow lug at the back, so pulling it out will require specialist equipment. Our spy photographer told us that heavy vehicles had to be brought in in order to clear the snow away before access to the stranded car could be found.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
