I had exactly that choice when the time came for a new car. And although I've been driving Porsches for the past decade, I picked the i8, thank you very much.
The 911 Turbo is awesome, no doubt. But it's "just" the latest iteration - albeit the best - of what we've all seen for decades. The i8 is something different. It doesn't have to be better in all aspects. And few of us, I dare say, have the opportunity and / or the skills to really push these kinds of cars to their limits and make the small differences count - I don't care what you think of your driving skills, most of us here are no Walter Röhrls.
So, in daily driving, it doesn't really matter if you can get an extra 2/10th of a g around a bend in a Porsche. What does matter, though, is that in an i8, you get to experience a whole new combination of dynamics and efficiency. On a daily basis. That makes it a much better car, IMHO.

Lmao relax! It's great that you love your car but I just have different tastes than you. Same way you've been driving Porsches for years, iv been driving BMWs for almost 10 years and alllllllllll the models seem the same to me. Don't get me wrong, I think the i8 is amazing. I saw one few weeks ago and took out the time to make a uturn and come back to get a better look. But at the end of the day for me, it's still a BMW and while the i8 is very different, it's still a BMW to me and I'm ready to move on.. Who knows though, I might come back one day.
