Many commenters have gone off on a tangent. The thread refers to a halo *version* of the i8. Not that the i8 itself should be different.
i.e. just as Mercedes made the AMG ONE to have a halo effect on the range, and Aston Martin made Valkyrie and Son of Valkyrie, to sell the forthcoming new Vanquish.
So the suggestion was that if BMW made a halo *version* of the i8, that would have had a knock on effect to make the i8 (and other BMWs) more desirable. Perhaps improving residuals.
If I were suggesting any performance improvement to the i8 itself, it would only really have been wider wheels/tyres plus bigger brakes all designed in from scratch.
