Bmw i8 vs Audi R8 V10+ on Launch Control!!

i8 is stock, R8 has exhaust and racing seats

I had no idea that the i8 was that fast

There’s so many hater! Most of them couldn’t afford these type of cars so they sit behind the computer and read the spec and compare! Every cars are unique in its own way, you have to own it to really and truly enjoy it. I’ve many BMW M’s cars, just sold my 2019 M6 grand coupe that’s highly tuned over 700hp and bought and i8. I was skeptical about it until I test drove it then feel in love. Power are useless if it’s not lay down correctly. 50/50 power and weight balance is what you want! Both the i8 and R8 are great and unique it’s own way. Totally different in its own way, i8 is hybrid power super car and R8 is pure brute combustion power plant. Own both and you’ll respect each of it!

Thanks for this! Hopefully folks will start to see just how sweet the i8 really is :) That R8 is no slouch and an amazing car too.

I just sold my tune 710hp and 690 ftlbs 2016 M6 and pick up an i8, I did intake mod, exhaust and tune. It doesn’t have much power like the m6, but hell it put all the power down when launch and nothing goes to waste. My i8 launch faster then my m6, but Ok the highway my i8 fall behind due to small displacement! But the fun is from the dog!! 😂

[mr.oklahoma]

Me either, now we both know, lol!

Is mama gunna let u mod the grocery getter?

I can't recall if I mentioned, I seen the snake at the dealer down in Tomball tx video he had nice!

[adityabanerjee]

I like how the r8 just flies away at the end

Those first gen V10 R8 were on the slow side, single clutch trans doesn't help for sure.
As an ex owner of i8 and 2017 V10 Plus, with a 2nd gen R8 V10 the result woul have been way different.
I'm still surprised of the final result tho.

This poor R8 has been the benchmark for recent performance testing. First the Model 3, now the i8.. 😆 I figured this would be close due to that instant torque from the plug-in, not to mention similar power:weight (minus the “hp” figures). However, I did NOT expect it to hang that well. i8 got some 🥜 👀

[AuroraEmpire]

Very nice. I ran an 8.6 in the 1/8th in the i8. It's not to shabby at all

[raddestdoctor]

Huh interesting. I just got my i8 and I have an R8 GT as well. I haven't driven them back to back yet but my initial impressions was that the i8 didn't feel as fast.

[abc-ovoh]

Damn that i8 was even with it til 100+

[emnissansr]

Very cool interesting and surprising. I still don't like i8 though no hate just preference. What's that a rental car sneakysnake?

[bojanbojan]

BMW i8
0-60 MPH 4.2 seconds
Quarter Mile 12.4 seconds

R8 should of done better?

[ThePixelsony]

Damnnn that 1.5L 3 cylinders i8 really that

[taddmason]

That R8 sounded like he was short shifting and only at 60% throttle.

[hythekiller]

Roll race from 60 mph again and R8 without Passanger and without 91 feul

[Fordfocusstmk]

Fukin hell lool that's faster then I thought wtf

[crsp]

I like the i8 more, way better looking car

[SKELFER]

Iam sorry but thats absolutly bull**it run for V10+ !
He need 10, 4sec. to 101MPH (i8 dashboard) - really ?
10+sec to 100MPH ? in 550HP R8...

Motosport Magazine tested 550HP 2014 R8 V10+ 0-100MPH in 7, 0s flat or Auto Bild sportscars 0-125MPH (200km/h) in 11, 3s.

Engine in that R8 must be totally destroyed...

BMW 1.5 engine DESTROY Audi V10 engine. Audi is a JOKE.
