Few cars stack up to the BMW i8 in terms of relative rarity and powertrain.
The Acura NSX has both, although it’s not a plug-in hybrid, and it has supercar performance.
The AMG GT is just a supercar droptop, provided you don’t need the green creds.
Same goes for the 8-Series, which is now BMW’s flagship coupe instead of the i8.
The Audi R8 too is a moment in time, but not for the same reasons.
Its V-10 likely has numbered days.
The new Corvette is special, and fast, but good luck finding one soon.
