This video provides a further detailed look into how aero dynamics played a part in the overall design of the i8.

And then they took the i3 and made up for all the loss of drag in the i8 with its brick like design!

..Go figure!

The i3 is like the Tardis....bigger on the inside than the outside

The shape is designed to maximise interior space, unlike the i8. Great decision for the i3.

And to think Dr. Who had the monopoly on that!

If you put it that way, the i3 does possess a small exterior for such a roomy cabin. However, it's not quite as svelte as the i8 (I know, the i3 is not meant to be a sports car... but I have to say it's rather torquey and could probably give many cars a run for their money on a stretch of city block).

By the way your bio concept is working well for my i8. Whenever I leave a six pack of Beck's and some sauerbraten in the trunk, the throttle blips start piping in even when driven in electric mode!

I have only drive the i3 very little since I got it (wife hasn't let me), but I was shocked today to see for all the technology it has it actually managed slightly worse efficiency than my Leaf. And I was driving very carefully in Eco Pro.

Don't get me wrong, the interior is much nicer, but I think the throttle and steering are way to touchy, the car bounces more than it should, and doesn't match my Leaf in potential electric only range.

Hmmmmm....
