Damn, BMW. We knew that the i8 was supposed to be the car of the future, but if we had learned that it was going to try and topple a race car that may as well be cemented in the history books, well we would have taken its performance chops more seriously. Despite having 357 horsepower the BMW looks a bit uneasy next to the Porsche GT3. Maybe it remembers the last time it raced a Porsche. The i8 has all-wheel drive to help the launch, but the Porsche has its flat-six gut planting all its weight over the rear drive wheels.
The race, a clash between old and new, was between participants of the 2016 goldRush Rally. Check it out here.
