OK...so it was loaded on a transporter and not actually driving but it was there. :)

One thing that struck me though was that it has that "prototype" feel to it. You know - the prototypes look awesome and once it hits production it looks a little watered down? yeah none of that - the end car looks prototype cool.

Also...the i8 badge on the back looks weird. The 8 is readable but the i looks like a solid square block?

Our i3s arrived yesterday. Will pop in to check them out later.
 
I assume it must be just for show because the communication I have seen from BMW suggests they only intend on bringing the i3 here.
 
i8 and i3 on show at the World Design Capital exhibition at the Cape Town Stadium 15-19 Oct. Lovely looking car!!!
 
50l of petrol will give you 2200km in an i8. Eish...
actually just heard that's theory and not reality :(

I'd take a Tesla P85D over an i8 any day, if both were available, I could afford them and I wanted an electric car.
