UPDATE: See RDDC's reaction to my video and subscribe to his channel for more i8 content! I've been thinking a lot, lately, about some comments I've heard from other's that the BMW i8 is slow. I tried to compare the BMW i8 to the fastest car I've driven, my C5 Corvette, and then started to compare 0-60 and quarter mile numbers of other cars with similar performance figures. The sports cars and super cars in it's performance class typically aren't considered slow. Whether it's a new Corvette, Mustang, Mercedes AMG or Alfa Romeo, those cars typically aren't looked at as slow. Neither are the super cars of yesteryear including Ferrari, Lamborghini or even Bugatti! I compared the stats of these cars with the i8 and find them to be similar in performance. So what makes the BMW i8 slow? Watch the video and share your comments. I'd love to know your thoughts.
