Try the car on a circuit, you will learn that the the car is extremely stable but only limited by it's front tires (fool proof), understeer is acceptable but you can not really correct it by throwing in some oversteer (more power) because of the rear that has way, wayyyy more grip than the front.
The only real reason that you cannot drift the car is that the front always loses from the rear.
I'm sure that 95% of the i8 buyers couldn't be bothered less with above facts but I keep wondering how the car would handle with slightly bigger/normal front tires.
