Something someone would go on gta online 😂
Rotiform has you covered in the I8 department
I’m just here to say none of these looked good except the GTR and the i8.
The P1, Huracan, and La Ferrari look really good and as for the i8 well someone already had that idea…
It actually looks damn good. It looks different and kind of futuristic.
I wasn’t convinced when James put those M1 type wheels on the i8, but I have to say over the past couple months it’s grown on me. But I still don’t like the i8 anyways, I just don’t get it. (not the hybrid thing, the styling)
Is that cambered?
I need the i8 on those wheels!
The p1 is the only one that looks good on those
R8 and GTR are ok, though a R34 and a Quattro are far from classic
awesome
No problem CT, I knew it was only autocorrect, so I changed it back to what you guys meant to say!
To me, this is a big ball of “nope”.
