Yeah so what year 911 Turbo? It was 20 years ago the last time a Porsche Turbo did something like 12.5 in the quarter mile. Any model since 2010 has done the quarter mile in mid-high 10's at nearly 130mph.

The acceleration difference is so massive between these two cars that in any kind of race it would seem as if the i8 was literally standing still.
To be precise, they didn't say "same accelaration". They said "same kind of sustained acceleration". To me that doesn't mean they're equally fast, just similar in character of how the acceleration is delivered - in a sustained, constant-pull fashion.
