I believe the 0-100km/h time for the i8 was benchmarked against the 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera, which had a time of 4.6s as opposed to the i8's 4.4s. Even the 2014 Carrera 4s has a listed 0-100km/h time of 4.3s. However, both 911s have a higher top speed and would probably be better on the track (I'm guessing).
What's a bit sadder is the 2014 911 Carreras being offered for more money than a 2014/5 BMW i8 -- at least here in Oz (check out
