couldn't agree more with that Ian.
Personally i wouldn't go blow that stupid amount of money on I8, i'd probably give some thought for the Tesla, but the I8 is just ridiculous money for what it is supposed to do when the R8 is just so good for even a bit lees money.
And yeah, call me old school, but i've rather have that rumble in the morning when i start the car and the engine noise on long cruises or when i launch it. Never driven an electric one such as Tesla but i guess that lack of noise and all that tram take off is just blunt and soulless, no doubt it's fast, but the problem is it's only fast without the furious side, sort of speaking
.
I'd buy a Prius or that funny thing Renault Twizy(i think it's called) because those kind of cars do what they're supposed to do and they're great for crowded city driving, but as long as i'll live i won't go buy an electric super-car, period, and that's my commitment to myself
