Unfortunate...I was looking forward to this car. The Rona strikes again.

Looks like I will be enjoying my i8 for longer than planned.

You can't bring a high-efficiency model yesterday and something similar tomorrow, that may be a few tenths of a second faster (and still not fast enough against a P85) and won't even come close to the i8's extremely low fuel consumption. What would you prove with it?
The next step is logically a fully electric model, but there is currently no money for it, regardless of Corona. This money is now required for the transition of production in the mass model segment (expansion of Dingolfing etc.). Already when they first released this study, I knew this is only a pure marketing driven concept but nothing substancial. No specs, not even raw specs as with the Vision Efficient Dynamics back in 2009. |

I'm glad, means the i8 keeps its unique status, the only mass production plug in hybrid carbon shelled sports car ever built.
