One thing is for sure, Ferrari didn't design the LaFerraris for the home market being that wide.
At least last year they were giving rides, not letting anyone besides Jay Leno drive, in the 918.
Give you one guess which street car is worth the most out of all those cars pictured.
Last year I saw 3 Veyrons Parked together right in the middle of a no parking area. Think it was across from where Porsche was in front of the Jaguar building. I thought that this could begin an annual thing here. As far as I'm concerned only one Veyron really needs to be let into the actual Quail grounds. Being old news and all. We need that four door car from them that was hinted at years ago. Also did anyone see that "Ciel de California" Veyron - light Bugatti Blue in color, it was there last year?

Absolutely gorgeous pics, mile2424. Thanks for sharing them. I saw the P1 and LaFerrari at Laguna Seca today. INHO, the P1 looks cartoonish next to the 918 and while the Ferrari is stunning it is so wide it almost appears out of proportion. Your pics capture how understatedly beautiful the 918 really is.
I noticed you posted one pic of the nose of my car (the red 991 GT3). Were you one of the many people that stopped by to talk? There were a number of RL'ers so please forgive me if I didn't remember your handle....

That 917 engine looks wicked, never knew it was so compact. For something spitting out that much power I would have thought it to be larger. Question, were those engines still air-cooled?
Since no one answered my question... I would bet real money that the McLaren F1 could bring in somewhere over $5MM-$7MM.
Even though no one else does, I dig that green P1. But I don't know what it is but in general I don't like the designs of the cars McLaren is putting out though their performance is undeniable.
But out of all of the big three super-dupers cars, besides the Pagani, the 918, P1 and the LaFerrari most will agree that the918 is the most tame and civil to drive. It's the one you can drive from LA to Tahoe, Incline Village of course. But when you have 900 BHP on tap you may not care about tame or civil. Who knows about the Ferrari.
