Denver Broncos Star Von Miller Splits Between Chevrolet Camaro SS and BMW i8

0 to 100 real quick, real quick. 0 to 100 in about 4.4 seconds, to be more precise. That’s what BMW’s plug-in hybrid sportscar can do. It’s an impressive sprint worthy of Tesla Model S enthusiasts. But if there’s something that defines this particular model, then the design has to be it. Those smooth lines, however, were not sufficient for this NFL player who had to take it up a notch.

The three-time Pro Bowl selection is acting all young and restless on his fans, who have been with him ever since he was playing college football at Texas A&M. After all, it was there where he earned consensus All-American honors and was awarded the Butkus Award as the most outstanding college linebacker in the nation. These days, Von Miller is holding the outside linebacker position for the Denver Broncos and things seem to play out quite fine so far.

Of sports, we know only that much, but we did stumble on an interview the NFL player did with DUB Magazine recently. It turns out the footballer splits his burning rubber moments between two customized rides: a widebody 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS and his futuristic, two-toned metallic gray 2015 BMW i8.

When I came out for the draft in 2011,” Von told the source, “the Transformers movie was out, and the Camaro was the hottest thing. But I wanted mine to be different, and that’s why I took the route that I did. The vision that I had when I started customizing it was The Batmobile.”

Further upgrades have been conducted on the highly tuned muscle car, but as you can see we’re after the greener member of the garage, this time.

The reason he likes both a powerful, American petrol-muncher and a hybrid, plug-in German sportscar is one most of the i8 fans express. “I like it because you can look very, very sexy driving the car and at the same time, you’re saving the earth.” We can confirm the eye candy effect with absolutely no doubt.

We found that not since we reviewed the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster have we encountered a car with such a wow factor. Honestly, when you can’t take photos of the exact car you’re currently testing due to passers-by doing their own impromptu shooting around the car, that’s when you know how things are.
