I also never noticed (until reading here) the subtle difference in hood intake.



One more thing - sorry for the long post - on the subject of 4 seats. Does anybody actually ferry anyone around like that. .
Battery condition will be fine. i8 has so much unused overhead that you won't see any deterioration.

I prefer the handling on the original car. Lighter and slightly quicker to respond to the wheel. It's marginal though.

The original is lighter and has slightly better aero. Search old threads here for details on drag.

Old hood design looks so much better.

When my kids were young, we drove from Kent to Scotland and back, travelling around Scotland for a week. 4 of us in the car. Rear seats are pretty useless now for me, except for emergency use, so not entirely worthless.
