You can get a Mustang GT500 for $65k which has 662hp if power for the money is what it's about.

Regarding Porsche 918 numbers, well those come with Porsche 918 pricing. The 918 is $850k base vs the i8 being $135k base. The i8 is much closer to Earth (i.e., relatively attainable compared to the 918).

The 918, P1, and LaFerrari are proper Hypercars. They use the electric motors to boost performance, not to increase efficiency. The i8 is an entirely different concept; except the use of a hybrid drivetrain, there really aren't any other similarities between those cars.
