To get one or not to get one, that is the question! I personally am not convinced. For me the rear design and loss of some length makes the car less something.l.l

Curious about roof construction. I live in an area where it makes no sense to have a car that can't be closed up properly. Well ... classics aside, I guess. ;-)

Me too I cant see how the roof closes - isn't this video of the concept, cleverly filmed so you cant see detail ?

I am surprised no photos of the real thing haven't been leaked or spied

Those wheels look bigger that 20's

Looks great though

I don't think it's filmed. I think it's computer generated.

Now that you mentioned it, the short wheelbase leaves the i8 Spyder's side profile with a disproportionate look, given the diameter of the stock wheels.

No this is the Concept introduced for the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.
The car is actually real and does drive.
We will see the new car in just over two weeks.

I had the same question which is why I thought it was a special effect not a video of a real car.
