Twice as much. Not quite.
Your comparison is also quite flawed. By your margin, a Porsche 911 should be terrible deal compared to a 300 SRT8. After all, less HP and less room for more $$, right
That's not even apples and oranges, it's kiwis and papayas.

That's classic

Mclaren 12C is depreciating well into the 170k range. I won't be surprise to see some in the 150k range soon with less than 15k miles. Same carbon tub, but gobs more power and no batteries to go bad.  |
But those 2 cars don't even close to competing unless you are maybe talking about price. IMHO, regardless of what BMW says, the i8 is more of a sporty car with new technology, rather than all about performance car like Mcl. Look at the tires it wears, who's going to track that?
I really do think the i8 is carving its own little niche.
