THESE RESULTS EVEN SURPRISED US - V8 VANTAGE VS BMW I8 VS C8 CORVETTE VS TESLA MODEL S DRAG RACE!

EV Channels Review

This video pits four depreciated sports cars against each other in a series of drag races: a 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a 2015 BMW i8, a 2014 Tesla Model S 85, and a C8 Chevrolet Corvette. The reviewer highlights the Aston Martin's V8 sound and manual transmission as its key appeal, despite being the slowest. The Tesla Model S, a 2014 RWD variant, showed signs of age with slower acceleration than expected, completing the quarter-mile in 13.53 seconds. The BMW i8, a plug-in hybrid with a 3-cylinder engine and electric motors, proved surprisingly quick, especially at altitude, achieving a 12.57-second quarter-mile and impressing with its technology and performance. The C8 Corvette, while the most powerful, struggled with traction on the surface, leading to a very close and exciting rematch with the i8, which the BMW ultimately won. The reviewer's favorite is the i8 for its advanced technology and comfortable ride, while acknowledging the Aston Martin's unique appeal.
