Nice! How do you know the engine is tuned? So far Manhart has only introduced the bodykit and the engine is standard (Essen Motor Show). Didnt find also any tuning program on the Manhart web page...

Can drive with plate up on roads, and have it tucked away when off road. Excellent! Could it be this system? http://www.boltsbolts.co.uk/shop/456...plates/4758288 Last edited by JasH; 05-04-2015 at 05:42 PM.. Reason: Added URL |

Meh, not impressed over such a short distance. 911 is also MT by the sound of it. AWD and electric in a 1/8 or so mile? It had better win.

And the Tesla P85D smokes the overhyped, small wheeled, overpriced i8.. Plus has four doors, is more practical, and contains better technology, better service, and is a better electric car.

While the $135,000 Tesla may be fast in a straight line, it drives like an SUV when cornering (because it weighs 5000 lbs.) and after 200 miles the driver starts to get something called "range anxiety." The Tesla is a one trick pony.

Yet another misinformed ricer.
i8 is not an electric car. How would you know about BMW and Tesla service comparables? Personal experience? Contains better tech? what, like it's inability to find a charging station every corner? How would you like to be stranded on long trip. I guess your subie has 4 doors but here's news for you. Sports car people don't want 4 doors. Overpriced? Hardly. Subies on the other hand are quite overpriced by ricer standards.

I don't agree, I would never get a Tesla Model S because the interior quality is so low for the price point.
The basic technology is great, but the car is a nice sedan, not to the quality of the price. An Audi A4 is higher quality/luxury and this is an issue. This extends even to the graphics on the giant display. Also when they do the p85d it is not a balanced car, when I put my foot down the front of the car lifts. This is polar opposite of the i8, where everything is very well balanced and high quality. |

Interior sucks, handles worse, looks like a Buick, range anxiety, heavier than many SUV's..........these are subjective things that I objectively agree on!
