The second generation Spring will be made in Europe in the same factory that will make the new Renault Twingo, and the new Spring will probably be based on that model. Here's the brand's teaser video showing bits and pieces of the upcoming car's exterior.
The auto industry changes rapidly as manufacturers look for the best ways to power future electric cars. We see new partnerships springing up all over the world, but today we can say that we never saw this coming.

High demand for the first electric 3-series prompted BMW to open order books early, with an exclusive BMW i3 50 xDrive First Edition being the first to go on sale.
