I got bored after 30 seconds. It’s not a bad looking machine but there’s no sound, zero sound!!!
I’ll probably get branded a dinosaur but sound is a very important aspect for me. Even the S55 which doesn’t sound that good in the grand scheme has a noise that gives some form of excitment. |

Hm, why does it have such a large cooler up front (e.g. visible at 3:40 in the video) ... it looks like the cooler of the S58? Does this make sense?

Don't know why you would call BMW wagons a joke. They are basically the same chassis as the sedan. They also make an M3 and M5 wagon. They are plenty sporty. EVs instant torque is something you use and feel, every time you drive it. The fact that you can have over 500HP in an 90MPGe EV is amazing. Again, if I had the choice of being noisy and slow compare to silent and fast, I would take the later every time. Look at the 22 Goodwill Festival Of Speed, where new records were set. The fastest cars were EVs, and are anything but boring.

You want a sports car get a BRZ and be done with it. Or a 911. The future is electric. Kick and scream all you want.

I’m surprised people aren’t commenting yet with the usual BS of “I already put a deposit down for this with my dealership”.

I got a Taycan GTS and it’s fantastic. EV doesn’t make sense for all YET. But it will eventually with faster charging and more infrastructure.
I will say that every time I hear a s$&y Honda or an annoying mustang (lots around here) with a loud muffler accelerating nowhere, all I can think is ‘EVs can’t get here fast enough.’ Also, the idea of not smelling exhaust, especially those that cut their cats out, and less car engine and exhaust noise will make downtown areas of major cities more pleasant. |

If you want a performance car buy one, dont buy a stocker then complain that its not an M car. Been there done that re 911’ & yes theyre impressive if you buy the right one. My daughter had a Toybaru (sold it after 6 months) & i drove it a few times, its a hairdressers car imo, though i can see why they appeal to kids due to the affordability.

The noise fanboys are hilarious. Just purse your lips, bros. Or put a CD of engine sounds in. Hyundai has a car for your! Probably the same people who complain that about piped in engine sound or noise enhancement from the stereo.
I have an FRS and an i4 M50. I barely drive the FRS anymore. This quad motor will be a wondrous beast. Wondrous! |

EV sales are still growing…but the rate of growth has slowed to an estimated 15% annually after a 50% yoy in 2023. EVs are too expensive or viewed as impractical for a lot of people. Cars like this 1,000 hp i4 will likely be north of $100,000…and eat tires like breakfast cereal. Fun…YES!
