nobody who owns a lambo knows how to drive. i know that for sure

What? Audi isn't for douchebags! Only some of them are, and that doesn't include Lambos. Evil, if they didn't know how to drive, how would they get a license?
Quote from "Ripley"Lambos = Audi = douchebags. That easy
RIPLEY YOU ARE GERMAN HOW CAN YOU HATE ONE OF THE BEST CAR MAKERS IN THE WORLD, AUDI.
and erasier, BMWs are way nicer then jeep grand cherokees
First of all, where the fuck did you get "erasier" from?! It's either eraser or eraser1, never erasier. Second, where the fuck did you get Jeep Grand Cherokee from? We're talking about Lambos, Beamers, and Audis.
I am surprised as well that Rip doesn't like Audi.
I approve of this thread.
VW = Audi/Bugatti/SEAT/Bently/Porchse/Skoda (yes the brand from A2)/Lamborghini/Spyker
In essence all VWs are cars for cocks built by cocks. Case closed.
Just cause something is owned by somebody doesn't mean that thing acquires its owners attributes. Also, Skoda doesn't compare to those other brands lol. Bentley kind of doesn't either.

Germans are passionate about motors and like football teams they will be loyal to one maker.
I don't think Ripley hates Audi in fact he is a secret lover of the Audi TT
Where is the puke smiley when u need it?
What I am actually working on every day right now is this little beauty:
BMW i8
is it really going to be a hybrid or does it just say that so nobody pays any attention to the concept vehicle?
When they say they're gonna release something a certain way, it's generally true. Concept vehicles are lies.
It is definitely a hybrid: plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) so you can reload at home or anywhere you can find power. In my opinion the first one to deserve the name not like Chevy Volt or even Prius.
An el. motor with 120 hp to the front axle and a 220hp 3-cylinder engine to the rear axle in combination with another el. motor. We got a carbon fiber body so its quite light and acceleration is really impressive.
Ahh yes i know of the rivalry between BMW and Audi and now I know. But ripley if you look at the front of that BMW it sadly reminded me of this car http://img2.netcarshow.com/Pontiac-Grand_…allpaper_02.jpg
thats what a camouflage is supposed to do
Electric motors always have superior acceleration in comparison to internal combustion. Electric is able to instantly apply full torque to the wheels, while gas has to rev up, so of course the acceleration is gonna be fast. Of course, with a carbon fiber body, I expect it to be even more serious.

Electric motors only output peak performance above a certain charge level, unless this technology has seriously progressed over the last year. Also batteries have a finite lifetime whereas combustion engines can run for as long as they are maintained. Not to mention the added weight of the batteries which probably negates the benefits of carbon fiber.
Electric motors are able to instantly provide peak output (when at charge, granted) but combustion engines always have to rev up. I'm not talking about the battery lifetime of electric motors at all right now. Yes, the batteries do add extra weight and negate the weight of carbon fiber, but carbon fiber adds the benefit of extra rigidity as well. That doesn't have much to do with acceleration, but electric motors do provide faster acceleration than combustion motors.
all wheel drive between the 2 motors? haha that's cool
but can you ask them to make it with a big v8 driving the rear wheels instead? lol

carbon fiber has to do with acceleration alot, are you going to go faster with a car made out of steel or carbon fiber? called power/weight ratio. and if you want speed and power go with the combustion engine. Also take a look at the 10mile radius of dead earth where the batteries are made for these electric hippie cars. http://www.teslamotors.com/roadster/technology/motor
I know carbon fiber has significantly less weight than steel, and it would give a superior power/weight ratio, but I'm talking about an electric/hybrid car, which has to carry batteries. Batteries are heavy, so they cancel out the weight benefits of carbon fiber, for the most part.
Evil you dont know how much effort is currently spend on making the engine / muffler sound like a V8 lol
Just to be able to sell the i8 in the US. But well... its sold out already
