The EPA has not done tests yet on the i8 M, but its fuel consumption is not expected to be very high. The i8 is likely to offer decent fuel economy ratings for a sports car.
Interior, Comfort, Cargo and Infotainment Connectivity
The i8’s cabin will be equipped with futuristic styling, unique materials, cutting-edge features, and eye-popping design. The doors are designed to be hinged and lower on the sides so that they can be more accessible from the inside of the i8.
