i8 prototype cold weather testing in Northen Sweden. The i8 features an aluminium chassis and a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic passenger cell.

The 2+2 seater sports car is powered by an innovative hybrid system, that in the concept car featured a 1.5 litre three cylinder diesel engine and two electric motors, with a combined output of 328bhp.

Looks like it has plenty of rear seat room...or the driver is a little person.

It's funny how the camo doesn't really hide anything on a car like this!

How would this eventually slot into the lineup? Or is it purely concept without production possibility? $100K + is my guess?

It is a whole new lineup, a parallel brand (in the same way as Mini is a parallel brand, is my guess).

No prices yet, but production is slated for 2013 onwards.

Yes. The i8 was a concept car first, now we are seeing the first production prototypes testing. My guess is that the i8 will be priced like the Z8, stratosphere. That will help offset the obvious losses the i3 will rack up.
