Sports cars now are exponentially quicker than what could ever be used on the streets. While other manufacturers continue to chase magazine specs and bragging rights, BMW has completely rethought the idea of a modern sports car. It is still wickedly fast, but rather than continuing to add speed that drivers can't use, BMW sought out to optimize the entire experience. In the i8, they have combined museum worthy design with supercar performance, eco-friendly manufacturing and emissions, Gran Tourismo level comfort, and all at a price that is a fraction of its closest competitors.
