Electric motor + turbo motor makes a lot of sense from a thrust perspective.

Batteries although heavy, do allow you to bring the cog very low and distribute weight evenly almost like a ballast does only in a fixed configuration.

This may sound crazy but my Prius is fast from 0-10 because of the instant torque. It also handles way better than expected because of the strangely low cog.

I think the i8 could actually deliver a driving experience that is unexpected and positive.
