Is the BMW i8 a slow car ? You be the judge !!

Amgeater2 · 12-05-2016, 10:40 AM

As many of us I felt like the BMW i8 was lacking a bit more of power so after a bit of reserach I made a call to a local shop here in SFLO Velos Designwerks Performance Tuning Autosalon.

Velos was able to pretty much do the first tuned BMW i8 in the US (at the time) the results more HP

but check out the 0-60 mph below... on 21 inch wheels

What about 1/4 mile times. And 30-50mph and 50-70mph. Any other tests taken?

That's not slow by any means! The car feels quick from 30-90 that's what's most important to me.

I dont get your point ? first nobody was comparing the GT-R to the i8, second the GT-R full bolt on can achieve 2.9 - 3.2 sec 0-60 so Yeah... its faster so it doesn NOT feel the same
