Is the 2015 Chevrolet
Corvette Stingray faster
than the 2015 BMW i8
Hybrid in a straight
up drag race? In other words, which is faster….a traditional V8 or the new BMW
Hybrid gasoline and electric i8. Just watch this TFL car drag race video to find
out.
The
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has a 6.2-litre V8 engine producing
460-horsepower and reaching 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds (4.1 with 1 foot of
rollout as on a drag strip) and clears the quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds at
113.7 mph.
BMW i8 uses a plug-in
hybrid system consisting of a turbocharged three-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo
petrol engine and BMW eDrive technology in the form of an electric drive
system. The 1.5-litre combustion engine develops 170 kW/231 hp and drives the
rear wheels of the BMW i8, while the 96 kW/131 hp electric drive sends its
power to the front wheels and allows an all-electric range of up to 35
kilometres (22 miles) and a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).
