2021 Polestar 1 vs BMW i8 // The Strangest Way To Spend $150,000
Рет қаралды 1,314,201
Күн бұрынJames and Thomas take the new 2021 Polestar 1 and review it against the tried and tested 2020 BMW i8 Roadster. Both are all-wheel drive hybrid cars that started out their life as a distant concept. Yet both made it to production and are here to bring joy to the world. They both command a steep price. But are they worth it? The boys explore the cars driving dynamics and what they are like to live with every day. Exterior and interior styling comparisons help figure out which one takes it in the looks department, and the back roads do the rest. Watch to see the outcome. SUBSCRIBE!
Thank you to Alex, Frank and the team at Polestar Toronto and Grand Touring Automobiles for allowing us to feature the Polestar 1. Check out their inventory here! www.grandtouri...
Thank you to Paul and the team at BMW Markham for letting us feature the i8. Check out their inventory here! www.bmwmarkham...

In my heart, I believe that the first bump of the get-in helmet was planned, but the second one was a surprise and he was instantly and actually happy to be wearing a helmet at that moment.

Obviously both hits were planned. You can literally see him intentionally put his head further forward than necessary and leave it there as he sat down. It might have hit slightly harder than he was planning, but that was 100% staged for people like you that can't tell reality from entertainment.

Story time: So, a few months back, my mom was on the market for a medium size SUV. She wanted a Ford Explorer or a GMC Acadia, my dad wanted a BMW X6M or a Mercedes GLE AMG. So we went and look at all their options, and the Volvo XC60 T8 Hybrid was just superb! It had the best interior, the most power, the best brakes, and IMO it was the best looking. So ultimately, they went for a Honda Accord..... classic

Usually when car designers talk of heritage and design being inspired by previous cars they're not even similar to the old ones, but this Polestar 1 is the first time I've seen a new car and instantly saw where it's inspiration came from. The stance, sharp lines, roof curve etc. all really remind of the P1800.

Agreed! Unfortunately the reason for T5 switching to 4cyl is the EU (or just Swedish? I'm not sure) laws where cars with more than 4cyl have an added tax so they instead chose to buff the 4cyl until it had the same performance as previous T5 or even T6... so no 5cyl anytime soon... or ever :( edit: tried to find a supporting link but probably this was just a rumor... anyways, 5cyl are not coming back :(

I hadn't been subscribed to any car channel on KZfaq before you guys, but damn I love your videos. From the production quality, to the content, to just the vibe of you two. Love it, subscribed, and keep up the good work :) One thing I would like to see in your videos though is a review of cars sound systems, because quality of sound systems is an important and interesting factor for me in cars

@@teletubbypo318 BMWs 0-60 is underrated, any BMW from the 1 series to the X7 has 0-60 times from factory slower than what they actually do. I8 coupe is faster than the roadster and depending on year it’s faster. 2014-2017 coupe is 4.0 seconds (fastest time) the 2018-2020 I8s do 3.8 seconds as the fastest time, roadster is 4.2. If your wondering if that’s the fastest a BMW can go to 60 the M8 can do 2.5 which is way faster than the 3.1 second claim BMW says.
