As it is, a less expensive Tesla Model S will crush the i8 in a drag race.

Yeah if they put the S55 engine in the i8 and combined it with hybrid electric assist like the P1, they 'd have a real mid level super car on their hands, but paying like $200,000 for a BMW might be a stretch.
Would get as good mpg though.
