Why wouldn't you just get a V8 for less?
Well I probably would get a regular V8, simply because it costs so much less. Actually I would get the diesel...

One reason people would get the hybrid is for tax reasons. It does use less fuel than the 50i (9.9l vs 12.3l /100kms) and produces less CO2 (231gm vs 299gm /km). In some European countries this would make a big difference to your taxes. And the hybrid is quite a lot faster than the 35i.

But I think most people who buy it will do so simply because money is no object and they want to own the world's most powerful hybrid.
