Even though it costs way more than what you'd expect a 362 hp sportscar to cost, there should be no shortage of buyers willing to joint the i revolution.

One reason for this is that despite only having three cylinders at its disposal, the i8 sounds way better than a normal hybrid. People say that the 1.5-liter turbo make a similar sound to a small V6, but we'll let you watch the video below and judge for yourself.

One last thing. the 1.5-liter engine make an impressive 231 hp and is helped by electricity to make another 131 hp. Together, they give i8 a very substantial 570 Nm of torque.
