Spotting i8 out in the wild photo thread

mystopolis · 06-09-2015, 01:12 PM

I figure this would be a nice organized thread for anyone who spots an i8 randomly. Who knows maybe one of these i8 belongs to one of you.

I'll start off with this silver i8 I found today in Alexandria, VA.
Lookin good!

Actually, not quite so wild. I got this i8 as a loaner for the weekend.
Very interesting car and the kids loved it, still no match for my M5.

We own both i8 & 2014 CP M5 and know what you mean. But I feel it all depends on perspective. When I come inside i8, i feel like a kid just arriving at an amusement park. The way people respond to your car is also very refreshing.

Also, after driving it for over 340kms (210miles), we refuelled 20 litres (5.3 gallons) which is simply impossible with M5.

All at the same time, the performance gap between the two cars are very much tolerable.

When a family of 4 needs to go on a weekend getaway or going for a big grocery shopping, of course i8 will stay in our garage. 😀

They gave me pride of place on the way out too. Put as first car although I was literally the last car there.

Up on the deck later the crew were all taking photos

Well while I wait for mine to finally land in the U.S. my good friend brought his out to play. Here it is next to my M6.
