Audi R8 vs. BMW i8 Which would you choose and why?

>a car from the land of cuckoldry

>>14965247
the R8 because it doesnt require an i8-certified dealership to do even basic servicing, has a useful engine, and comes in manual

>fast beetle
>uggo sci-fi bmw
m2 familia

>>14965247
r8 v10
no substitutes

How is this even a question?

>i8
More interesting technology to play with

>>14965247
the one with the manual

>More interesting technology to play with
we're talking iphone w/ wheels versus a GT car in terms of driving experience

As much as I hate anything VAG for the shitty FSI and newer TDIs, I'll have to go with the R8 because I prefer gasoline.

Completely different cars

This. A more fair comparison will be Auri r8 vs Lamborghini Huracan / Tesla Model S vs i8

>>14965247
>big engine
>gated manual trans
>a hood you can open
or
>fake engine noise
>no dipstick
>skinny tires

the choice should be obvious

>>14965370
i would choose the huracan and the i8

i8 because it's way prettier inside and out, plus much more novel/interesting. I wouldn't benefit from the R8's performance advantage anywayl, and I am a BMW fanboi.

>gated manual trans

not since the redesign

>>14966072
but the new one isn't in the picture.

>>14965262
the v10 is from a lambo, which means it needs heavy servicing after a few thousand miles...pathetic.

>>14966068
Probably lasts longer too, and doesnt have a thousand different options. not to mention butterfly doors.

>>14966136

The V10 was developed by Audi for Lamborghini.

>>14966143
>BMW
>Hybrid
>Lasts long

Pick one and only one

>>14965411
I highly doubt any Audi post 2010 comes with a dipstick as well...

>i8 is everything wrong with modern German cars
>R8 is everything right with german cars
>hard decision

>>14965247
