Not sure whether I like the spoiler (AC Schnitzer) on that i8 or not -

Certainly don't like how much it cost:

Wing is gross

And lol at the price

It was a bit of a let-down tbh.

LMAO... £3k for a completely pointless aesthetic wing.

Which looks super out of place.

I'm not sure - having had the pleasure/misfortune of seeing an i8 daily in our work carpark for the last 2 years, the back does look like it could do with something (although as above not sure if it's that wing)

I still think it looks like a headcrab eating a 911.

I know that one is 3 years old but are they still making the i8 now? I just don't understand the point in it. The cost vs performance vs value/quality just seems a bit..well, off really.

Mk2 version is due out imminently I believe.

It's not about the performance though, it's a comfy GT car which can run on pennies if driven correctly. My uncle has one, they're epic cars.

It's over £100K!

You'll never offset that cost on fuel savings though.

You'd have to do lots of 20 mile road trips (assuming 20 miles from the battery, I've really no idea).

The i8 can be written of through a company to save tax. Also as a company car pay much less tax which makes it fairly avoidable for people normally in higher tax brackets.

You have to spend money to make money

But then you also look at the depreciation...

On the up side, you can have a 3 year old i8 with all the options ticked for 50k!

When you get carried away with the weight reduction.....

No pic but I did like the plate 'CRA 2Y' on a California I think it was. Brave parking in small multi storey spots as well.
