Love it! Genuine Turner race car appearance that would turn heads for miles on the street.

What are you planning for power?

Also I have heard the car is severely under-tired from the factory, how much rubber did you fit under there?

Like many of these project cars I hate the look but respect and admire the workmanship

This looks really really intense. Yellow is one of my fave colors & you guys pulled this off! Makes me wish it was a standard color offered for the i8 & M cars. Well done, Turner Motorsports!

I noticed the Velocity channel has a "How it's made: Dream Cars" with the BMW i8 featured. 8:00 pm est on Saturday. I'm curious how in-depth they go.

It's a re run from last season. Not very much depth. They take a few areas and briefly show how parts are made. Compared with some of the otherepisodes, and notwithstanding it was a subject in which I was intensely interested, I gave this episode a meh.

Notice how all the other cars are grey and black? Where is this - Dreadville? Gloomtown? Or just clever foto propping. :-D
