"Fact" ? "Fanboy" ? I think we are all in subjective territory here, especially evaluating such an unusual car with no real comparisons. Except of course for price and performance which are rather more of a "fact"; The i8 is about US$140k, not $170k. And 0-60 results vary -- we will have to wait a bit to get real world 0-60 data on 2019 models, but current versions are often timed at sub-4 sec, and repeatedly beat a lot of fast cars such as the M3/4. That said, BMW states its usual conservative data as 0-100km/h at 4.4 secs.
I rather like Steve Sutcliffe's [old] review:
