I don't see the "Eco" tires available, it appears the US is only getting the wider "sport" 215(front),245(rear) rims which are the Turbine Spoke style-625 wheels (my favorite)



or the W-Spoke style 470 wheels


It looks like that default interior is the "Mega" which is "Neso" on the UK site



cloth on the backs of the seat bolsters, less leather, etc.

You then have a choice of "Giga" and "Tera" "Worlds" (just like the i3)

Giga
  • Extended Leather
  • Dark or Light (Black or Ivory) Leather
  • Dark or Light (Black or Ivory) Headliner
Basically the Ivory and Carpo Amido (black) interiors on the UK configuation website. Although the wording makes it sound like you'll be able to get a dark headliner with the dark leather (which makes sense).




Tera
  • Olive Tanned Leather
  • Anthractite Headliner
  • Blue Seat Belts
The Brown/Tan interior some of the show cars had. Called "Halo" on the UK configurator.


If it follows the i3, the Tera will be the most expensive.

It looks like they're really positioning it as a 911 4S and R8 competitor in the literature.

All in all I am VERY pleased with the standard equipment list. A similarly equipped M6 would be getting close in price to an i8.

So it looks like the only thing that will push your sticker above the $135.7k is opting for different interior package. I'm going to guess you'll still be under $140k no matter what.
