Matte White i8 drag races many other supercars

Andrew115 · 08-04-2015, 09:29 AM

Still impressed with the gtr. Didn't look like the i8 pulled away at all off the line. The electronics and AWD are still amazing after how many years now?

Wouldn't doubt the driver of the i8 is a friend of the car owner.

what a douchehat.
I love the i8.
but owners need to stop perpetuating rich douchey bmw stereotypes.

and wth was up with those starts? it took off nearly a second before the mclaren and slightly before the m4 among others. nice to see a GTR still rock that 1/4 mile.

Loving the sound of the exhaust on the i8! Thanks for sharing!

Anderw · 08-04-2015, 09:54 AM

Meh ... Like everyone else already said , who acts like that ?

M3ichael · 08-04-2015, 10:10 AM

Also,

the other drivers and place your hands inside the car.

Driver is certainly a dumbass with the hand waving. Really?? And agreed, he jumped the start over that McClaren big time. Not impressed by beating on a 1series.

As for picking your race...that's basically chickenshit. That's like saying "I'll race my Prius vs your i8 from here to New York and the one that gets the best gas mileage wins." Line em up and run them. He who gets to 1320' mark first, wins (in this story.)

The i8 is a cool car because of it's technology..but I saw quite a few other cars I'd have in front of it.........

Since 2009 in US so roughly 6 years. Great showing for i8 as well.

Very short distance for stopping before end of the strip.

Ya seems like just a non serious version of a drag race 0 - 60

Chief Kronos · 08-04-2015, 12:29 PM

Can we consider the i8 and fully petro powered super cars it races in the same class? Putting the i8 and Porsche 918 together in the same class makes more sense right?

Brandan303 · 08-04-2015, 12:55 PM

Beautiful car with a douchebag driver. He wasn't waving his hands when the GTR beat him.

Regardless the i-8 with it's super high low end torque is impressive. Can't wait to see our next one at the dealership.

Or quite possibly both...it does happen. Often.

The GT-R jumped off the line as quickly as the i8... impressive indeed.

Anyone notice the BRICK WALL at the end of the track?

Guess you need good brakes too to compete there.

He was talking about the P85D showing up at this race, not some hypothetical race. His point stands; the P85D would have made short work of the i8 here.

For many of us, it sure as hell is.

roastbeef · 08-04-2015, 08:14 PM

i don't understand the hype around hte i8... not very fast, doesn't handle that well, not that great of gas mileage.

numba1guju · 08-04-2015, 09:06 PM

How did this tool make the front page?

FrankiE90 · 08-05-2015, 02:06 AM

Clearly he didn't give a fack.
I'm sure he made great conversation later w his buddies.
