Yes, the i8 still feels special. I took it to the PI event in Eindhoven, Netherlands last weekend in fact. We had a convoy of 6 i8 cars from England
The prior weekend, I attended a McLaren event at the Lotus factory and test track, driving Lotus cars on their track. As we were using Lotuses, I took my i8. It got a lot attention amongst the McLarens, and most had not seen an i8 up close.
I had a blast in the 720S this morning though, and EVERY single fast bike I came across wanted to play
i8 does not suffer from this.
I did succumb once, and of course left the bike behind easily, but backed off after a few seconds for the sake of my licence. It is stupidly crazily fast - far too much so for the road.
For any long journey, or in traffic, I pick the i8. Where I know I will get good twisty/fast roads, I choose the 720S.
I love both these cars
