FST FWD to 1:26 for the race.

The i8 is a freakin' beast. My son (335i) reported he had no chance to shake off his pursuer.

MORTON · 01-04-2015, 02:49 PM

Yeah they are super quick apparently. I like the rear end and side of the vehicle but the front to me is horrible looking.. Never would have thought it would smoke an M4 like that..

kiel_dafo_kenyg_as · 01-04-2015, 02:59 PM

It's merely the small tires that I find tasteless... ROFL! The aggressive silhouette of the i8 would cry for some Porsche sized rubber.

I thought so too, almost seemed as if they weren't going full speed or something.. maybe it was the way it was filmed..

great video man, I wish a BMW would have won but im glad to see Porsche still has it!

The Porsche 911 GT3 Turbo is my dream car.

cotmfk · 01-05-2015, 06:32 AM

The way the original video is filmed takes away any sensation of speed. Makes both cars appear/feel slow. Odd.

no I meant the Porsche 911 GT3 and I hypothetically installed a turbo on it LOL

Myrder · 01-05-2015, 10:56 AM

The M4 did a burnout as a launch, of course it lost.

turo · 01-05-2015, 01:37 PM

^^ Agreed. Does the M4 have launch control? If not, I'd love to see the same race with a good driver.

Dozhdbog · 01-05-2015, 10:59 PM

Of course the M4 has launch control, and yes, they probably could have shave a few more tenths off its time.

And no way it would have won anyway.

EDIT:

Oh, nvm, I think you were referring to the first video, not the one with all the cars.
