So I picked the i8 up yesterday :-)

My first impressions ..

Very very smooth car especially on motorways

I was impressed with how little outside noise comes into the cabin , you really feel like your are in a different dimension 😃 super comfortable

Oddly I found that in eco pro mode the steering felt heavier than in comfort 🤷*♂️

In Sports mode obviously it sounds more fitting to the exterior looks however I felt a bit short changed in the visceral feel perhaps in manual mode it’s better admittedly I was not pushing super hard so need to re assess ..

My last sports cars were a 997 Carrera and a Lotus Evora S so maybe that’s the reason I feel like that ..

Fit and finish top notch

I am going to swap the tyres around and put the 245’s in the front and new 275’s in the rear the aim is to perhaps see some heavier steering feel kill a bit of the under steer and improve a bit the visuals overall

Anyway so far so good it’s a fun car 👍
