Funny question I can only answer from my personal point of view with a clear Yes.
Of course I understand it's not for others who rate "Super" by conventional parameters like HP, 0-60, track times and all this known stuff.
In this regard the i8 can be called an assertive and snappy GT but not a Supercar.

But if I rate "Super" by smart parameters it outperforms nearly every Supercar even the new NSX whose approx. CO2 emissions are ridiculously higher (6-7 times) in comparison to the i8. I just had to laugh when I read it.

But "smart" means much more. I drive the i8 mainly on our lovely country roads that are often interrupted by peaceful, quiet little villages and hamlets with kids and animals playing next to the streets. To be able to quick switch from red hot loud Sport Mode to absolutely quiet e-Drive and then to spur the horse again is just pure fun and what makes me feel to sit in a super car.

Yeah I know, faster, faster, faster...
