BMW i8: The future of the performance car? | evo REVIEW

[@TonyEG6]

One of the best videos I've seen. Way better then motortrend and drive. Love Evo

[@Ktmzqw]

Have no idea how Drive videos are now, i'm not paying the subscription, so i can't watch them :)

[@piratado]

I agree, but motor trend has that epic drive series which is almost as good...

[@nabil_040]

***** It's stupid for my its free

[@Ktmzqw]

I don't understand your sentence.

[@nabil_040]

***** The video's they make now are really stupid in my country it's free

[@CarloDelucis]

Finally another GREAT video coming from EVO! Love the build-up process, the length of each sequence and the fact that you really provide your authoritative opinion on this hot topic. Well done!

[@DoctaM3]

Really cool review. Kudos EVO. One of your best and certainly one of the BEST BMW i8 reviews. Another reason I love you guys so much. Keep it up!!!

[@codystevens3532]

Your i8 is beautiful! Can't wait to see more videos of it. ;)

[@DoctaM3]

***** Thanks!. I am really very happy with the i8 and Protonic Blue is PERFECT of the i8

NEW VIDEO: Henry Catchpole takes a look at the new BMW i8, and evaluates whether hybrid and electric cars really are the future of the performance car: bit.ly/1wA3vPo What are your thoughts on the subject?

[@Orcawhale1]

I don't get the point with fully electric cars, as your just moving the co2 from the cars till the power plants.. And then we have the batteries themselves which is a horrible business, that transmit a ton of co2 into the atmosphere... Hydrogen cars on ther hand, is the future.

[@iliasiliasilias10]

spekhugger revolutionary thought: Solar energy to power the outlet you charge your car from.

[@derekmack80]

spekhugger Not all the energy has to come from coal. Plus burning coal is much more efficient overall than refining and burning petrol. Seriously, this argument is the new "if humans came from apes, why are there still apes?". Both show a completely misunderstanding of the facts and both are simply wrong

[@Orcawhale1]

Derek Mack I suggest you read my whole comment before, you write your own :)

[@derekmack80]

spekhugger OK, show me all the hydrogen cars currently on sale. And where I can fuel them.

[@G0ML333]

Great job Henry, that was an epic review. Sheds some new light on the hybrid and electric cars that is looking more and more likely to fully replace all vehicles one day. In sports cars there will likely be for a long time still an engine combined with an electric motor, while normal everyday cars are probably heading more in the direction of fully electric. Still, we can enjoy motoring with an engine probably for as long as i'm alive anyway but one day the change will have to take place and it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Motors still has a place in cars as long as there's oil left, but this way we can cut down our consumption of it and make the petrol and diesel powered cars survive longer combined with "new" tech.

[@scottleech4428]

Followed EVO in print from the 1st issue and still have it , by far the best reviews period.

[@alexanderyoung8628]

Finally a major car channel lets people know that electric cars have been around since the beginning!

[@jameshoggtech]

Best i8 review by miles. Even beats Chris Harris' vid!

[@TheyCallMePDub]

How does this only have 150,000 views? I thought it'd be at least 1,000,000

[@alexli1994]

This may have been one of the best reviews I've seen in a LONG time. I mean everything from editing to narration to presentation. Also the Renault Twizy is kind of a funny little thing. xD

[@inaction1950]

this is one of the best videos on Evo channel so far...Henry Catchpole,you know that you have one of the gratest jobs ever...aand you are doing everything right,keep up the good work.

[@hf7188]

This was true automotive journalism at its finest! Definitely the best piece I've seen in a very long time, and I'm including Top Gear in that list. Congratulations, and, from what i see in other comments, you have our approval to come with more of these. Simply stunning work.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Loved this video. Gave me a whole new appreciation for the i8!

[@Danman2579]

Same here! I used to be skeptical about the i8, but after doing a bit of research, I fell in love with it

[@brandonmckibben1164]

Fantastic video, Henry Catchpole is becoming one of my favorite people to watch talk about cars. Keep it up EVO!

[@GranDaddo]

Exceptional video. Excellent work.

[@JulioArreaga]

This video turned out to be a lot more educational than I was expecting. Good job EVO!

[@stefndogg]

great film...love the build up to the i8 review- gives the viewer good perspective of how impressive the i8 is. Thanks...keep up the great work!

[@DriftxKingGTR]

Wow this was absolutely amazing! Enjoyed so much watching it, EVO did a wonderful job. This guy so informative but doesnt making it boring. He even makes reversing sound interesting lol Great Job, this actually made me change my mind even more about hybrids.

[@maximilianholland]

Excellent Henry, one of your best. I like the combination of hands on and feedback about the driving experience along side the broader perspective and analysis of the trends. I've watched all the prominent i8 reviews and this and that of CH are a cut above; really impressive. Keep up the great work. More like this please!

[@sandradellamaestra9335]

Another great review(s) by Henry. I like the way that they had the forsight to record each of the seperate reviews in conjunction with one another. I haven't seen anyone else do this yet.

[@AndrejGobec]

Excellent video, guys ... one of the best from EVO in my opinion!

[@thepikester1000]

Brilliant video, any chance you could make the magazine app available in the Dubai App Store?

[@MegaDan991]

I can't help but commemorate the video editing and cinematic of this video, absolutely brilliant.

[@dovakhiinmcnish7732]

Very interesting video ! I like the fact that you mix history with different tests ! I want more ! :)

[@JABloch]

Wow. I can't put my finger in why exacly, but IMO, This is one of the best put together videos Evo, or any other of the Auto channels, have ever done.

[@SykesAJ]

Brilliant piece, so refreshing to watch some positivity about such an exciting development in motoring. I drove my first EV this week and was totally sold - a combustion car seems instantly antiquated. Thanks guys for a great video.

[@seedood]

Great video. Keep them coming!

[@grizzly_magnum9579]

Wow EVO, this was an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you.

[@shoeyh5169]

Best Evo vid yet. Yes more like this please!

[@ZondaF355]

Simply stellar mini doc...I personally would love to see many more of these on different genres of cars new and olds just a joy to experience. Clean, concise and I formative.thanks as always EVO team

[@bulletroll]

Can I just say, one the best car reviews I've seen in a while.

[@staffansvahn]

Very nice video. Thank you very much for posting. Best wishes

[@jacks5051]

Amazing car, makes me feel a bit giddy being in this era of tech and advances. Cracking review by Henry as well, very informative, reminds me of the older episodes of Top Gear, when Clarkson & Co. actually gave a toss about cars. More please :)

[@GreatToastMigration]

2:57 You almost made me spit out my Ramen. The tiny bits of humor are always appreciated.

[@eastlin8149]

Henry, keep up the excellent work!! This was beautifully made, especially the topic of moving into the future of motoring. @EVO, this presentation is the definition of online motoring journalism.

[@alexandrefernandes9233]

Great work Henry Catchpole! Thanks a lot for 14m32s of enjoyment.

[@jaina8648]

Did you guys pay /Drive for that P1 footage?

[@LloydManning]

Where can I get hold of Henry's T-Shirt in the i8?

[@Spark972]

Very nice resume of what is now available. We're at the very begining of this !

[@Groagun]

Henry, EVO, this was amazing and your absolute best work to date. Thank you for telling the truth and letting everyone know that the future is not to be feared or loathed. Good on you and keep up your great work.

[@tysanborn375]

Terrific piece Henry... While I'm a petrol-head without any doubt, pieces like this spark a bit of excitement toward the future of motorcars... Well done!

[@mubblemann]

Love this channel and everything about evo. Keep it up guys.

[@Devon.Ambrose]

Henry, I loved this video, very cinematic. I subscribed yesterday and I'll be keeping my eye on EVO!

[@conn4m4n]

@EVO The into to this was spectacularly written. Lovely video as always.

[@Rocknium1]

Thank you so much, I've enjoyed this video with pleasure. It's been a while since I've watched quality content such as this.

[@iantownsend5480]

I sat in a i8 the other day the interior is beautiful & the car is even more beautiful

[@mallemand1]

Quality video guys! I really enjoyed watching it.

[@jeantrg.9503]

One of your greatest pieces Henry. Thanks for that.

[@harpersneil]

I've been reading Evo magazine religiously since issue no5. I love it because I have fuel pumping through my veins; it's all for the thrill of driving. I expected not to enjoy this video talking appraising a 'hybrid'... Hybrids are the enemy after all. Aren't they? But instead I find myself really intrigued; I could see myself really wanting one of these!

[@Gavownian]

Great vid! Production on these EVO mini-films is getting better and better all the time, I have to say. Also, although he was already very good, Mr. Catchpole's presenting has gotten much better over time. He speaks a little louder now, so I can actually hear him clearly, and with better diction. I'm sure it's down to becoming more comfortable with the medium, but it genuinely seems like he's just having a spirited conversation with me, the viewer now. But what about the Car? Personally, I've never been a big fan of BMW's. I've always respected them but never really lusted after one. However, this i8 and the new i3 though are phenomenal. I love that you can hoon around in a great looking comfortable sports car and still feel responsible in regards to fuel use/global warming/noise pollution etc. Don't get me wrong, I still love Ferrari's and Lambos and loud, growling, screeching supercars- but now you can have fun everyday in an i8 and save the wailing banshee for maybe the weekend?

[@FRC0711]

Great video. It would be interesting to see more detail about where these cars are built and the design, materials and technology employed in their manufacturing processes.

[@David-bl1bt]

A superb video, very professional yet relaxed presentation style, really enjoyable, thank you.

[@vladx2]

One of your best videos! Third only to the Caterham Snow Driving and the Boxster GTS one

[@funkysatty]

I appreciate EVO. But REALLY enjoy Henry's reviews. Some quality in his voice and quirky real look

[@GrooveTasticThang]

Another great EVO video! Like the retrospective style. i8 very clever, like the full fat electric torque fill, quiet through towns / villages / traffic jams! Clever carbon tube. But it's about as much character as last years washing machine (anything trying to hard be "the future" is in danger of dating paradoxically) Put all that tech into a 911 and you've got the perfect EVO car! Not long to wait I imagine, 991 gen2?

[@JamesMorgan]

Fantastic film, incredible to watch, visually and informatively, and more would be welcome. Great job.

[@andrewking3986]

Thanks for a great primer on these innovative rides. Your team produces some of the most engaging films and your willingness to experiment is exciting.

[@benjaminrice201]

getting tired of Porsche?

[@andrewking3986]

Benjamin Rice Not at all...I try to drive the Porsche at least once a day, otherwise I write off the day as a net loss. I just like when established technologies get edged out for the better. And it's exciting to see that so many of these efforts don't sacrifice performance and fun.

[@benjaminrice201]

Andrew King well stated and I know exactly how you feel

[@NikoBell12]

Wonderful review! Best review of the i8 yet.

[@9T64]

Great job, Henry Catchpole! Do more of them... e.g. the history of 911s, maybe drive all of them really hard, from F-model to 991:) Like the story in the magazine. Also loved the story about V8 Ferraris, 308 to 458. You didn't film a video of these comparisons, did you?

[@tfsweet]

overall wonderful and thoughtfully executed film. it was thoroughly enjoyed!

[@TheBucketOfTruth]

You guys are killing it. Keep up the good work.

[@allsta495]

Best from EVO so far.

[@Nixxomatic]

Brilliant contribution. Not just because of the i8, but in general a great pro-electric cars piece. Excited to see what the future brings.

[@jumperkenijn]

another great video from EVO! applause :D

[@kraenk12]

Great episode. Good work Henry!

[@PeterHolmgren]

Great video! I hope you will post more documentaries soon!

[@yumpbalump]

Brilliant video. So glad we got Catchpole for this one. I trust his opinion because of his love of sevens and the true sportscars in the world. Way to be wide-minded and enjoy somethings new.

[@bwhobackk]

Thank you... that was great! You guys are my go to channel now that Drive has alienated me with that pay channel mess. -- Keep up the good work and thanks again!

[@meshplates]

Excellent piece and beautifully photographed in Scotland too.

[@ronaldcheung5934]

Thank you EVO. This is sooo much more than an i8 review :)

[@Thatswedishtechguy]

Best review I´ve ever seen in my life, i think you just knocked down chris harris from the throne.

[@tbzeking]

The i8 is a fantastic car both in terms of looks and performance which are right up there with all the big boys. There is nothing wrong with the 3 cylinder engine and by the way, downsizing is getting more common now and you can't do anything about it so you'd better get used to it instead of hating like everyone else.

[@InStyleDK]

This is not a car video. This is art. 👏

[@SimonElliott]

Brilliant doco Henry. Loved it. "Please sir, can I have some more?"

[@drphilgarner]

Brilliantly done video. More like this please!

[@M3Conv]

Great video and so much to look forward to. I have owned M3's for the last 7 years but cant wait for the next hybrid sports cars and what they will bring.

[@sal1nger]

fantastic, comprehensive video. great work.

[@1991julez]

Incredible. Never have I wanted a hybrid more

[@JetBlackGT]

Love the comparison with the CGT! Have to agree 100%... Thanks for the fantastic video.

[@JetBlackGT]

Request/ Suggestion: Any possibility about another movie with the CGT? The Analogue video you guys did was just phenomenal... I have to say it is my FAVORITE video on KZbin!!

[@wrathgar11]

Good video, nice format and well presented.

[@yitboy11]

Such a great review and preview of what is to come in the future of motoring. Bravo Evo

[@Sandmanm3]

Excellent video EVO! ! !

[@MarijnKramer13]

I never was thinking that electric driving would be fun. But i have to say, it works. I got a tesla model s 85+ for the work, and a twizy for in and around town, i got my own power station on the roof, so now i have extra money for my Lotus Ford Cortina, caterham, (Renault Sport Megane RS 275 cup) porsche GT3 RS and my bikes :P

[@NavneethKannan]

Beautiful documentary! Made me rethink electric cars... The future might not that bad after all!

[@dariocp87]

Great job buddy, excellent review.

[@scottballantine4152]

Epic video Henry, really good :)

[@bbogdanmircea]

Really amazing video. Congrats!

[@christianjohnson3491]

Beautiful car. I love where we are heading with cars and hope I too can soon have my own place among the hybrid/ev manufacturers.

[@StreetKingEvolution]

A different and refreshing review. Thanks!

[@oswaldhoogeveen]

Great video, very nice automotive journalism!

[@FBFerran]

Amazing video!! And free!! I really like those new hybrid cars, but all of them are not available at an affordable budget, so until that happens earth will still be powered by the black gold.

[@johngoodridge7815]

Really mature, considered film. Really enjoyed it. It's a good format for subjects like this, and similar EVO articles, like 'the future of Motorsport'.

[@MarkPybus]

Another great video by Henry & EVO. Really hope they don't forget about the hydrogen fuel cell cars as the future of motoring though.

[@SuryaDe]

Beautiful video and I am very excited about these new generation of hybrids actually.

[@MrsGondee]

The I8 just looks so pure and refreshing. Want one bad shah

[@enonu]

Very nicely produced and edited.

[@mopsnuf]

Maybe i8 review is not the best title, but man. Great video!

[@snake0sena]

fantastic stuff, loved it, please do more! would love to see a history of bmw M, or AMG

[@mortenberg2897]

And ... fantastic review. HC is serenity himself ....in a good way 😎

[@JoshRichmanDesign]

Great video style! Keep'm coming!
