Poll Comparison: BMW i8 vs Porsche 911 (Anniversary Edition)

[Iamnotme]

Autocar compared the two cars:

In the end, you can make a strong case for owning either one of these cars. If you’re an enthusiast and treasure driving, choose the 911. The Porsche is clearly more entertaining on a back road and the better sports car.

But if you’re keen on the futuristic appearance and are more obsessed with technology than dynamic appeal, go with the i8. The BMW’s blend of coolness and complexity makes it a compelling statement. Think of it as the world’s most accomplished urban sports car.

Aside the 911 is the better sportcar according to Autocar, in this pictures it looks like they are comparing cars from different era

That off-white isn't helping the 991...

 

[klier]

Give me a 911, I don't understand an 'urban sportscar'. Sounds dangerous.

As much as I admire the i8 from a technical standpoint, I just can't get over its looks. I just don't like it. And I have seen several driving around already, so it's not the internet pics.

I do love the i3. That one has a bigger purpose I suppose..

 

[Monster]

i8 for me, just to give credit to BMW for their bravery with the whole i-Project.

As stunning as I find the i8's looks to be,there is no hesitation in choosing the 911.

And Is a comparison with the epitome sports car for the last 50 years, really outstanding

 

[Betty Swollocks]

911 without even thinking about it.

 

[Deckhook]

I honestly don't know, my head says I should want the i8 because it's the future but my heart says 991.

 

[DeDe]

911 of course.

Who says it's the future? To me it seems the stepping stone to the true future of cars. Who's to say in five years it won't be completely superseded by far better technology, the like of which we haven't seen yet?

 

[DblPen]

i8. Would be way more suitable for my daily driving

OK call it a glimpse of the future, it's definitely more futuristic than the 991 that's for sure as its roots are firmly planted in the past.

 

[Sayyaaf]

991 because the future will be filled with better i8s anyways.

 

[chonkoa]

911- no need for an explanation.

 

[klier]

991 because the future will be filled with better i8s anyways.

And with better 911s.... This statement is wrong buddy

 

[Sayyaaf]

And with better 911s.... This statement is wrong buddy

Tubro charged 911s ? yeah ok.

 

[klier]

yes, indeed. A future where you won't know a turbo is there in the first place.

Ok, don't buy the samsung S5 because in five years the S7 is coming......and not buy the new S Class because in seven years the new S class is coming with far better technology either, .........this is perfect for the world economy

 

[Sayyaaf]

See klier its comments like this make people miss-judge you. But its ok, I accept your opinion although I disagree.
