In before this becomes a "merits of the electric car" or global warming discussion thread.

On topic: I couldn't care less about the i8. They should have made the ///M8 like they said they would rather than get distracted by this, imo, waste of time. All that development and it's just well, meh. Who cares about 0-60 times when the car isn't fast?

They should have done an electrically assisted biturbo I-6. THAT would have been interesting. Hell, use the massively respectable turbo diesel they already have if you want something more efficient and with tons of torque. Instead we get an ugly triple boosted by batteries to normal petrol car levels, wrapped up in an overdesigned body.
