@[Alpina_B3_Lux]To me the i8 feels every bit as much a sports car as my M6 does. Albeit slower than my M6 it feels every bit a sports car in a different and unique way.
I've driven the M6. To me it's a large and very powerful coupé, but not a sports car. It's simply to big and heavy for that. But that's just my own view, of course, YMMV as I said.

But at least the M6 you can do WOT runs on the Autobahn for longer than 10 minutes without half the power missing all of a sudden. The i8 is nice if you live in countries with low speed limits. For me here in Germany it's simply not an option.
I think your definition of a sports car is quite skewed and narrow. It seems under your criteria almost nothing would fit the bill. The common categorization of a sports car in the automotive industry is quite broader than that which you are abiding to.
