I always thought the BMW i8 was a lot of hype - until I drove one. Now I’m starting to understand why it’s worth $150,000. Watch the video above, or check out my column for more of my thoughts.

Awesome review! My only concern with electric cars is the lack of involvement and adrenaline pumping noise. Sure they are ridiculously fast but having no noise or fake noise is like sleeping with a beautiful woman who is a tranquilised mattress in bed making fake… ermm… moaning sounds. :(

I agree. Although I think the fake pumped-in sound actually did more than I expected it to, nothing really takes the place of a big V8.

A Prius will never be worth $150,000 - Not even joking, $150k complete rip off, let alone even $95k, you have to be complete moron

@ 2:17 Doug says “how do you get out of an i8”, at which point he shows us how to open the door. Not how to get out. I wanted to see how ridiculous it looks trying to get out of it. I would own one by now if it had normal doors and normal sill height.
