Which would you rather, BMW i8 or Porsche 911?

EDIT: For K-Roll

Porsche 911

Y U EVEN ASK??

AND NO PIC OF 911 EITHER?? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!

Is this even a question!?

Just straight up, I'd get the i8. Any day of the week. The problem is, you'd be followed and gawked at everywhere you go and I have neither the time nor patience for that.

So I'd go with the more discrete 911.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Alex B 10/08/2014 at 10:04

Probably the i8. After all, it comes with a free 911!

i8. I don't even BMW bro, but I like the I8.

911.

The newest 911 GTS looks enticing.

I don't like being mobbed by hoards of people, so I'd get the Porsche.

JR1 > Alex B 10/08/2014 at 10:12

Depends on the 911. If I can have a used 997 GT3 the choice is very easy

Sam > Alex B 10/08/2014 at 10:13

Well, I only drive unique cars. So the i8 any day of the week. Plus, I can't stand modern 911 naming schema. "This is a 911, but it isn't a 911, it's a 991, but the 991 IS a 911. Which is different than the 993 which is also a 911, but isn't a 991." You get my point, I hope.

For so, so many reasons the i8. I would be lying if I said the tailor-made Louis Vuitton luggage was not one of those reasons. A small reason, but still a reason.

The Turbo S is pretty much one of my least favorite 991s.

I cannot believe I am saying this because they are nothing more than melted VW beetles with big motors. But to stand on my principle that hybrids are not true performance cars, I'll take the beetle 911

because no one wants to look at a microwaved beetle.

Yeah, like 3 people. Out of all people.

I hate 911's with a burning fiery passion that burns hotter than a thousand suns, the only thing that burns hotter is my hatred of Hybrid performance cars.

You stand alone.

Deliberately choosing a less power dense and infinitely more complex drivetrain goes in the face of "simplify and add lightness"

I cannot abide.

spanfucker retire bitch > Sweet Trav 10/08/2014 at 10:34

Energy density is equaled out by the lack of efficiency in ICE when compared to electric motors. And the extreme performance of these new hyper cars should put to rest any belief that that they're not "true" performance cars.

That's such specious reasoning to begin with, about something being a "true" anything.

SmoresTM Has No Chill (O==[][]==O) > Alex B 10/08/2014 at 10:38

No, BTU should get this and give it to me so I can pretend I have an i8 when I travel.

Look. It's perfect. Though a black Keepall 55 Bandoulière is still my favorite.

Sweet Trav > spanfucker retire bitch 10/08/2014 at 10:40

Efficiency? If I can afford a hyper car, I don't give a damn about efficiency, it could get one gallon per mile and run on diced lions and puppy dog tails, I simply don't care.

Give me a 1500hp quad turbo monster. because I absolutely guarantee that i could build a traditional ICE that makes more power, is lighter and faster than a hybrid drivetrain.

No, you don't stand alone. If the i8 was an I6TT with a hybrid system, we'd be talking about a different story, but it's not.

I'm not really a 911 guy, and I love how the i8 looks, so that's my choice.

Sweet Trav > Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 10/08/2014 at 10:59

Why add the bulk of a hybrid system when a twin turbo V8 is lighter and makes more power?

I'm not talking about MPG efficiency, I'm talking about the efficiency of turning the source of energy into acceleration and performance.

The EV's far less serious parasitic loss combined with instant torque (which all of the vehicles use for torque-fill at low speeds/RPMs) makes it clearly the best performance vehicles on the market.

Bar none.

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > Sweet Trav 10/08/2014 at 11:45

Or that. Yes, at least someone understands.

Attention is only part of the want for me.

Th i8 looks amazing, and FUTURE and a great DD. 911 is just another 911. Don't you want to feel special and unique?

By the way, I seriously HATE black wheels with metal outlines like that. Not just on Porsches, Mercedes does it too, and it's awful..

If you build a proper V8 you don't need a "torque fill" The LT5 has more than 400 ft/lbs at an idle. Everyone talks about instant torque from electric motors, but most hybrid electrics don't drop it in a lump, they bring it in gradually, just as an ICE does because of traction issues.

As far as efficiency goes, it could be a steam engine, and if the car is faster, i want it.

Simply put an i8 or a LaFerrari or P1 would faster with a lightweight big honking turbo engine.

spanfucker retire bitch > Sweet Trav 10/08/2014 at 12:05

No, they wouldn't. At least not the LaFerrari or P1 or 918 would. And "most" hybrid electrics are not performance vehicles.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Brian Silvestro 10/08/2014 at 12:24

Special and unique?? The 911 IS special and unique! Now the 991, isn't unique nor is the 997(unless it's a GT2-3/RS), same goes for the 996(which is seldom seen here). I see nothing special about the i8 whatsoever; just another hybrid supercar for the world to gawk at, so I don't really care about it? And what you be saying about my wheels M8?

So you're saying the i8 isn't special/unique?
