The i8 has 15 miles of electric range.
Making it a crappy electric car and a crappy gas powered car for its price range.
For certain European cities that don’t allow emissions from vehicles in downtown; this is the perfect car for people that don’t want to buy an electric.
So crappy that people are willing to double the price? My company pays high achievers $500 a month towards the purchase of any post-1999 BMW. I will look at the X1 or a pre-owned if I ever get to that level, but if an i8 were to become available....
BTW, how do those European cities know if you’re using the electric or gasoline motor while you’re in their downtown?
You do know that the nearly one million dollar Porsche 918 and the upcoming $130,000 plus Acura NSX also have electric motors, don’t you?

Formula 1 and Le Mans have some crappy racing, with crappy cars using crappy electric/gas hybrids, diesels, etc.
Plus the crappy cars can turn right.
Toyota has built/sold over 2 million hybrids.
