Four years from launch and the i8 still feels like it’s come to earth via a discontinuity in spacetime. Yet now here’s what what we earthlings call a facelift. Albeit the face has hardly changed. Main news is the gorgeous Roadster version. The Coupe also gets many of the same under-skin changes, usefully improving both its handling and efficiency.
The i8 looks amazingly radical. Minimal-drag shape-work for efficiency is artfully combined with flourishes of crowd-pleasing flamboyance.
