I was collecting my new daily from Cooper Teesside BMW yesterday
![]() I get on well with the salesman so he very kindly let me have a quick play in the new i8 ![]() ![]() ![]() excuse the daft grinning bloke in the drivers seat ![]() ![]() Never ever been in a hybrid of any sort before , but in this instance I love it. Amazing car really, slightly weird starting the car and driving off with no noise etc , but when the petrol engine starts up in sounds like a V8. Seemless transition when the petrol & electric work together. Has some punch too , nothing like my modded 996 turbo, but still quick. Its a wonderful showcase of new technology. If I had the money I'd buy one over a 991 and use it as a daily ... its even got good sized rear seats for the kids ![]() As it is, I don't have the money so will have to make do with the CSL and a diesel bmw for daily duties |

What the tree huggers forget is that the energy for the batteries has to come from somewhere.
