All 19 i8 hybrid cars are finished rather befittingly in a shade of blue that greatly resembles the team’s livery. A BMW i8 is typically worth somewhere around US$140,000, so by doing the math, the whole fleet is worth somewhere in the neighbourhood of around US$2.66 million. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is a Thai billionaire so a gesture like this was expected. You might think that is a massive amount of money, but considering the approximate worth of mr bossman is nearly US$ 3.2 billion, 2.6 million sounds like a spare change in the console of his private jet.
