Nice!! This should be in i8 forum...

Can you get some detail shots of the door sills, headrests, trunk cover, etc., these are the Pure Impulse bits that come with the PI package. Would be nice to see.

I can see the ceramic shifter, btw., looks sweet.

Edit: looks like the silver car has PI, and the white car does not.

However, the silver car appears to have the Tera interior with the PI shifter. Not sure how that would be possible.

BTW, how (and why) did he get 2 cars?

It's Hendrick. That's the Pebble Beach i8 he bought for $825k last week. I'm interested in the headlights. I'm assuming they just put LEDs in the Pebble Beach one until they get approval, and they will retrofit the laser.

Aahhhh good point ... I was going to say, wow that silver looks like a frozen (matte) color ...

You're right, it's the Concours D'Elegance edition.

OP -- photos of the display key if you can!!!

I was confused. Kept thinking that the Tera was the standard PI interior for a second.

So the [frozen] silver car has the one and only PI with Tera, and white car then has regular ole' PI interior.

When OP posted about "the boss" I thought these were new arrivals at a dealership where OP might work or something. Didn't realize these were personal cars already.

Guys, here's my internet card --- *hands over internet card*

I won't be needing this anymore, today.

Not sure,
I went back down last night and they loaded them up to go to the dealership to sit in the showroom.

He also paid $650k for the first Camaro Z28 and a $Million for the first 2015 Z06...even though he owns one of the largest Chevrolet dealers in the country and could easily get them anyway. He likes charity auctions. More power to him.

I wondered this as well until I learned it was Hendrick that bought them. I presume the Concours edition is to go in the garage with the rest of his collection (see link), and the white one is for driving.
