Those tires are so narrow! Off putting

Also it looks like it's pooping a 911

You can't unsee that

Can you actually place an order on one? What's the MSRP and waiting time?

Great review! Can't wait till we start seeing modded I8s out on public US roads

They will be on public roads in about 5-6 weeks... Well, not many, but a lucky few...

Modded though, that will be interesting. I am sure someone somewhere will bastardize the car somehow, just not sure how. I put my money on that happening in Miami before it happens elsewhere with LA being a close second!



The only mod I can think of that would be pretty badass for a US i8 is a Laserlight headlight retrofit. Will probably be stupid expensive, and require coding, but since there is no word on when (or if) we will get them here, it would certainly be unique. And still classy.

Can't say I don't agree with your assumption haha

Whoever is reading this thread that plans to order an I8.. Make note, Laserlight headlight retrofit

Loss leader indeed

All praises ... If only Mr Sutcliffe knew how many people would be angry at his next M3 vs D3 video
