Appreciate you posting the vid, thanks @JET500.

Having said that, it was a very poor review. It was almost an 'idiot's guide' to the i8, but even then it wasn't factually correct...

"gullwing doors"?!? - they're 'dihedral doors'! (Gullwing doors are like those on the Mercedez SLS etc.) (Wiki: "Gull-wing door (German: Flügeltüren) is an automotive industry term describing car doors that are hinged at the roof rather than the side"

Why say "range anxiety though is something to be considered..." and then completely refute his own comment by then saying it's a hybrid with a petrol engine as well. He's just dramatising the whole thing TBH, and it causes scaremongering, and poorly educates those that half take an interest in such things. A la Jeremy Clarkson really!

"0-60 in 4.5 seconds"?!? 0-60mph is 4.2 seconds, so where on Earth did he got that info from?!? Maybe he's used the 0-62mph (0-100km/h) time of 4.4 seconds instead and rounded it up?!? Either way, it's shoddy journalism.

And as for saying they want to show both sides... so he really expects people to consider the other method of transport does he?!?

Whatever, next...
