This car is not a competitor to a GT3. I don't think it will matter that it's relatively slow compared to other "sports" cars. This car looks amazing and is packed with technology. That will appeal to well to do people looking to make a statement (I'm green!) but aren't racers or even enthusiasts. Look how many rich people bough Priuses for the same reason. Now they can buy something that looks as exotic as an Aventador but gets fantastic mileage and, they can plug it in at the charging station next to a Chevy Volt or a Fusion plug in Hybrid.

The i8 is something new and different than what is currently available today. I think it's brilliant and if I start saving now maybe I can buy one in 3 years when they start to come off lease!
