Eight is said to be a lucky number in some cultures. Here we have the Audi R8 and the BMW i8, two futuristic-looking, sexy sports cars that both hail from Germany.
But the cars take two very different approaches to performance. The R8 is powered by a beautiful sounding 4.2L V8 with 430 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the BMW i8 is a gas-electric hybrid, with a combined total system output of 357 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque.
The i8 is the new kid on the block, but even though the R8 has been around for nearly eight years, it is still hailed as one of the sexiest cars for sale right now. Both cars are over $100,000, both have head-turning looks and both have serious performance credentials.

BUT FIRST: Compare the specs for these two cars side by side
The results of our last few polls were quite interesting as well. We asked if you’d rather have a Porsche 918 or a McLaren P1, and the 918 won. In the poll before that, we put a BMW M5 against a Cadillac CTS-V, and the Caddy took the win.
