Are you suggesting the i8 is a super car? I think that may be a stretch not even BMW would make. I think the car looks awesome personally, but its performance doesn't back it's appearance or price tag.
It's similarly matched to the present M3/4 and slower than the GTR.
?This car is not about the race track,? says i8 project director Dr Carsten Breitfeld. ?We are not talking about the Nurburgring. We are never going to quote a figure [for a lap time].?
?The statement for this car is real world [driving] and in the real world nothing gets close [for performance and efficiency]. It is a clever real-world sports car.?
