I agree. It does sound expensive. It may also be a case of an insurer not really having done the analysis on the i8 yet, so the quote a "safe" price.
What also enters into this, and makes comparison across cars difficult, is expected repair costs. The i8, with its carbon-reinforced polymer monocoque is impossible to fix in case of certain types of accidents. It may be more likely to be totalled than other cars that one would expect to be in the same category. That can drive up the premium.
