The guys from The Smoking Tire must've plucked a four-leaf clover before setting off to film one of their test drives. That's because, while filming in a parking lot, they happened to stumble upon a prototype of BMW's i8 out on a test.
Even though BMW unveiled the i8 at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor show, nobody got to drive the production version yet, so seeing it on the road is still a rare opportunity. Furthermore, in this video, you can hear the 3-cylinder engine roar.
The funny part is that after they spotted the i8, around 4 or 5 cameras immediately popped up, one of the guys even saying 'Boy, this guy picked the wrong parking lot!'. What followed was worthy of 'Laugh or Die'. The poor driver panicked when he saw how many cameras started filming him and rushed out of the parking lot.
The good thing for us is that he went flat out, showing us just how fast the i8 is, making one of the guys shout "That thing is fast!".
