We previously reported that the next gen i8 should be going fully electric.

Three electric motors will combine to output this figure and a far more substantial battery will be good for 300 miles per charge. Power will be sent to all four wheels.
The report also claims that the next gen i8 will feature rear wheel steering, torque vectoring, and a prescient active suspension which will constantly adjust and preset the suspension based on a scan of the road ahead.
