The clip shows a pretty blond woman going in her new car to what appear to be several blind dates. But it’s a setup, because what the guys don’t seem to realize is that she is a professional stunt driver — and they are in for a real shock as she spins, drifts and tears around a parking lot. “So what else do you look for in a girl?” she asks midspin. Best first date ever. _Read next:_ [_Watch a Husband Surprise His Wife With the One Thing She Always Wanted_](http://time.com/3692555/husband-surprises-wife-with-england-dream-vacation/?xid=time%5Freadnext) ### The Wildest Concept Cars of 2014  Anybody can take Chevy's Chaparral 2x Vision concept car for a spin — anybody with Gran Turismo 6 for the Sony PlayStation, anyway, where the car is a playable download. Gene Blevins—LA DailyNews/Corbis  One day, we'll all finally get to ride those light-cycles from Tron. For now, there's Toyota's FV2 concept car. Joe Klamar—AFP/Getty Images  Doors? Where you're going in the Smart Brabus FourJoy concept car, you don't need doors. Bloomberg/Getty Images  The pickup truck hasn't really changed much in decades — until Volkswagen took it on with this Tristar concept car, which takes a pickup and makes it super offroad-friendly. Fabian Bimmer—Reuters/Corbis  Nissan's 3-seat electric BladeGlider concept car might actually make it to production, pretty rare for a concept car this wild. If a Jedi Knight drove a car, it would be the BladeGlider. Gene Blevins—LA DailyNews/Corbis  Toyota hasn't said much about its high-riding C-HR Concept crossover, but we know that it's purple. Very purple. Benoit Tessier—Reuters/Corbis  Maserati says its Alfieri concept car represents "the future of Maserati design." Too bad most of us can't conceptualize being able to afford a Maserati any time soon. Pierre Albouy—AFP/Getty Images  Mercedes-Benz's G-Code concept SUV comes covered in what the company calls "multi-voltaic silver" paint that's supposed to act like one big solar cell. It's all very green — err, "multi-voltaic silver." Kim Kyung-Hoon—Reuters/Corbis  It somehow doesn't feel like this car, designed by Russian artist Gosha Ostretsov, will fly off the shelves. But that's okay, because it's more art exhibit than commercial vehicle. Smityuk Yuri—ITAR-TASS Photo/Corbis [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] [00:05] So what do you get when you cross one of these with a [00:07] rocket ship? You get one of these. This is the BMW i8, [00:11] and I think the I is intentional. It's a very high tech [00:14] device. It's a hybrid electric sports car. It's worth about [00:18] a hundred thirty six thousand dollars and it's pretty [00:20] amazing. We test a lot of cars and very few get a [00:24] reaction like this. People taking photographs on the [00:27] street, asking us questions. It's very fast. Pretty [00:30] interesting and amazing vehicle, now does the world [00:33] need a hybrid electric sports car like this? Probably [00:37] not but what the heck? Look at this thing. It looks like [00:41] it's gonna fly away. And it was designed to be a [00:45] dazzling sort of show car and certainly BMW has done [00:49] that. The challenge is to combine them in a way that [00:52] you can drive all that power to the wheels. BMW solved [00:55] this really nicely. So there are two engines in this thing. [00:59] The electric one is in the front. Now we'd like to show it [01:02] to you. But we've been asked not to pull the hood off [01:05] this thing. Because it's so unusual that it doesn't come [01:08] off the way a normal hood would. In the back, we've [01:10] got the conventional engine which, if you can see, is [01:13] pretty small because it has a pretty small engine in it. [01:16] Three cylinder engine that's used in the mini. Now, to [01:19] get power out of this thing, they turbo- charge it so [01:22] you get 228 horses. Same time, the trunk is back here. [01:26] It's about big enough for your charger. Plugs [01:31] into the front. Then into a conventional power outlet. [01:36] As for storing luggage, forget it. [ MUSIC ] Now, it takes [01:44] a little doing to get into this thing because of this [01:47] carbon tub that it's built on. But once you get inside, [01:50] it's nothing but gorgeous. Beautiful leather, very [01:54] comfortable seat, power seat, and all the [01:58] appointments that you'd expect out of a luxury car. [02:01] The I8 has four driving modes. We're in [02:05] the all electric mode right now, which sort of puts you [02:08] in submarine mode here. It's silent. We kinda drift [02:13] along the road. People kind of gawk at you [02:17] because this car is so beautiful. But it's absolutely quiet [02:21] in here. Perfect for playing music if you'd like. [ MUSIC ] [02:31] But the real fun is when we push it to sport mode [02:35] and the conventional engine kicks in. You get take- off. [02:41] And we [02:45] just got up to about 70 miles an hour in a couple of [02:47] seconds without really trying. It's just a lot of fun. [02:56] There are sensors all around the car that tell you [02:59] what's close to you, what's dangerous and what isn't. [03:01] This is the setting for the safety systems that more or [03:04] less allow you to set up your own personal bubble. [03:06] What you want it to detect. The I 8 sits [03:11] on a carbon fiber tub which makes it very light, you [03:14] can see the pattern here. It also makes it a little bit [03:17] difficult to get into the front seat. And as for the back [03:21] seat, well, forget about it. You can get your groceries [03:23] back there. The i8 is aerodynamic in many ways and [03:27] here's a cool feature right here. [ MUSIC ] It lets air [03:31] slide past, keeps it low. [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] That's a [03:35] tuned exhaust you're hearing. [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] [03:39] And again it's tuned just beautifully.
