This video makes me think of a question I've had concerning the i8's performance. I've read where the car has the same 0-60 times whether it is in all electric (e-drive) or a combination of electric and gas engine (i.e. sport mode). I realize the electric motor gives the instantaneous torque for quick starts off the line, but I would have thought the gas engine has to get the car to 60 mph faster in conjunction with the electric motor than the electric motor could do by itself. Any thoughts?
