BMW has unveiled the i8 FIA Formula E Championship Safety Car for the first time at an event at Donington Park, UK.

The car will apparently be fitted with Qualcomm Halo wireless charging technology that allows the car to be recharged without the use of cables. The technology uses resonant magnetic induction to transfer energy between a ground-based pad and a charging pad fitted to the underside of the vehicle. The cars can then simply park over the base pad for charging to start automatically.

Exact specs of the car are yet to be released, but it’s said the car will be used in the FIA Formula E Championship, although a formal announcement is still pending as the FIA complete their evaluation and approval process.

In addition, the i8 FIA Formula E Championship Safety Car will officially be known as the Qualcomm Safety Car and will be driven by experienced driver Bruno Correia.
