Hey everyone,

Just wondering what you take is on the new I series, especially the I8.

Stumbled upon this car in person when I was in Chicago a few weekends ago. They were shooting a commercial for it.

When coasting, the car has absolutely no sound. And it's smaller than I had envisioned.

But none-the-less, it's still a beautiful design!

Those wing doors look friggin huge from the pictures!!!

I'd drive it. Also, I hope I'm not the only one that didn't read a single word on the page and just drooled over over the photos :P

Saw an i8 commercial the other day - the front kidneys glow blue.

It made everyone laugh and I felt sort of embarrassed because I wanted to like it.

It's a concept car! Besides, glowing blue inside the grills is illegal on the roads.

I found this render a while ago and I'm really hoping it looks like it when it's released:

And yes, I want one!! Going to be a lot of $$$ though likely.

My guess: $200,000

I wonder how much it would cost to do an e9x conversion with wheel hub electric motors.
