Drag Battle: Renault 12 vs BMW i8

December 20, 2016 – Okay, so the car in this video is actually a Dacia 1300 and not a Renault 12, but they’re technically the same car. This particular Dacia has parted ways with its original 1.3-liter engine and now carries a 2.0-liter four-cylinder generating 340 horsepower and sending power to all four wheels, while the hybrid BMW i8 pushes out 368 horsepower from a three-cylinder engine and an electric motor. Will it be a close race? Find out in the video below.
