...This is until the tesla 4RS comes out... I've seen one with the badging so not sure if its a prototype or not as I know they are working on the awd version

I think this will be on the more affordable side of hybrid sporty cars until the Z3/5 supra hybrid comes out

I'm interested to see what the real world performance will be. I can't help but feel a 3 cylinder engine is not enough, but I will wait to see the results from road tests.

I don't get why BMW didn't do halos. What they did instead is so generic.

September 10th, I8 and I-phone 5S, it must be a conspiracy.

I will hold judgement until the mags get them as long term testers. Sure you can hop in and drive it for 20 minutes around town or do a few laps around a track. But what is it like to live with day to day. How long does it stay charged with aggressive driving, how often do you need to charge it, how long does it take to charge, etc...

I hate teasers. I can live without knowing anything until they actually reveal the damn thing.

they spent so much time developing everything on this car, you'd think they could manage to give it it's own individual gear selector...

A car that looks like that should do 0-60 in at least 4 seconds and 12 something in the quarter, and I highly doubt that will be achieved.
I am pretty sure it has been confirmed to be north of $125K USD
