  1. Andres Campos Sorry, but when did the King of Supercars ever need to be a bargain? The i8 is a great car for the price, no one is denying that, but the point here is that it is not the "King of Supercars". R8 is trash? Nice joke.

  2. King of supercars? Sorry, but in the company of the Ferrari 458 Italia, F12 Berlinetta, Lamborghini Aventador, Mclaren 650S, 991 Turbo S, and R8 V10 Plus, do you see a spot for the i8 to be the king?

  3. swunt10 So if a car is cheaper, made of carbon fiber, is a hybrid, and has "BMW goods", it's the king of supercars? Lol, nice try.

  4. swunt10 Japanese cars? Where in the list of cars I have listed out, did I list a Japanese one? I don't think much about the GT-R, but although since your sarcastic ass has brought it up, the LFA is more of a supercar than the i8 will ever be.  Which one of the recent BMWs can you actually call an "ultimate driving machine"? Please, if you still believe BMW is genuinely making cars to that motto, you are one blind fan of BMW. The E9x and E60 BMW were the last BMWs that can actually be considered ultimate driving machines. Oh yes, tell me more about how the 458 Speciale, Mclaren 650S, 911 Turbo S, and a plethora of upcoming Japanese hybrid supercars, are soo lacking in new technology. Get real, the i8 is not revolutionizing the world with its tech. Stop trying to make the i8 out to be what it isn't. There's nothing wrong with what the i8 is, it is just not a supercar, let alone the king of supercars.

  5. swunt10 It doesn't matter if the LFA is that much more expensive, if one is going to claim the i8 as the king of supercars, it needs to be a better supercar than most if not all supercars available. And when did I EVER say an ultimate driving machine needs a big engine? I said BMW is no longer the ultimate driving machine. Look at the E92 M3, E46 M3, E60 M5, E39 M5, E36 M3, E30 M3. Those are CLASSIC examples of what the BMW ultimate driving machines should be like. I don't expect them to make mirror copies of them in modern form, but the F10 M5 is a far cry from anything "ultimate" in a driving machine. Want an ultimate driving sedan? Try the Panamera GTS. Motortrend even went as far to say the E63 AMG S is a better driving car than the M5. Ultimate driving machine? You really still believe that? Right, the i8 is quite original for its hybrid tech right? You, get real, because the only thing BMW did was put already existing hybrid tech into a sportscar. I did not say other cars have revolutionary tech, but the i8 does not either. And as far as carbon fiber goes, Mclaren uses it extensively. Your explanation on why a supercar is called a supercar shows you really know nothing about what makes supercars super. And so what if the hypothetical millionaire chooses to buy an i8? Great for him, great for BMW. You seem to think that I think the i8 is a piece of shit. I don't. I will repeat this, as it is my original point: While the i8 is a good hybrid sportscar, it is not even close to being the king of supercars.
