Michael Fux is the guy who recently had his Enzo totalled by mechanics at his dealer.

No matter how they've acquired their wealth, they've chosen to be a part of something and purchase something that is important to both environmental and human history.

Instead of projecting, just be happy for their purchase.

Weird, Tony Faddell isn't even pictured here. I wonder if he had someone pick it up for him.

There was a silver one cruising in SoCal traffic back in May. I wonder if it belongs to one of these guys.

No, those were press launch cars with Georgia manufacturer plates, all Ionic Silver.

The press launch was around that time in SoCal (Malibu, PCH, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, the 405, etc.)

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up. I haven't been following this stuff much. These cars look great though.

No worries, it's cool that you saw one in traffic "in the real world."

Beautiful cars no doubt but for me, even as a long time BMW enthusiast I'd rather daily drive a Tesla if I wanted a "green" vehicle. This is more of an exotic car rather than a realistic car that will be sold in any sort of meaningful numbers. Hopefully BMW can bridge the gap between their entry level green car and this car.

I guess the "main" requirements to own an i8 is to be a CEO of something... hehe

I don't think these are the first. There is a silver one in Santa Barbara that has been around for about a month. Also, saw another silver one parked in a dirt lot at the track today while these deliveries were taking place.

Do you think they even know how to handle an i8. I bet they won't even drive past 80mph. Poor i8.

Black and Silver is by far the best looking. The black could very easily be a Bruce Wayne car ;-)
