i8 in Munich this morning ...

Spotted this outside my hotel this morning. Looks like a full production spec test vehicle.

I have read the recent reviews of this in Evo and autocar including vs 911. Sounds marvellous and it looks great on the pages of a mag so must look super in the flesh. I wond how the colours will be specified. I'll have black. With some blue bits. And a bit of silver. Goodness knows how the Polish car wash chaps would get into its scoops and wings! Terrific, I must go and have a look at the Park Lane showroom.

it certainly looks vastly better than the abortional noddy car that is the i3

thanks to comments on here all i will ever see in the rear of this car is it crowning a 911 ...

It certainly does. It looked stunning rolling along silently in slow moving traffic, juxtaposed with 'ordinary' vehicles which suddenly looked visually 'tired' in its presence. Sadly there wasn't a production example available for closer inspection at BMW Welt.

Love the look of that!

Looks really good with the body all in black.

i saw one on the M25 last night, one of the coolest cars i have seen for a loooooong time in the metal, (carbon?), it hade the two tone paint job and made everything else in 5 lanes look dull as dishwater.
