I already have mine, a silver one with Frank Walliser's signature written on the hood.

Honestly, I think this car is gonna be a tough sell... It's still not sold out yet, in spite of being available for pre-order much longer than the sold out Mclaren P1 and LaFerrari. Also, the car weighs 300+ pounds more than either of those cars, and it has significantly less power. Irregardless of how anyone feels about PDK only or Hybrid powertrain, I can't help but feel like this car let down the Carrera GT legacy.

It costs a lot less (in relative terms at the stratospheric pricing for any of the three) than the P1 or the LaFerrari. (couldn't Maranello come up with a better name than that ? the name alone is laughable, let alone that now the they have created "The Ferrari" what is their next hypercar going to be called ? "La prossima ferrari" ? (let's see that plastered across the rear)...

If you gave me my choice of any of the three for free, I'd choose the Porsche. I think the McLaren is ugly and the Ferrari is just 'over the top' (and I don't like red).

If I had the money that any of them cost, I'd buy a GT3 RS and a condo at VIR.

^^^^ Nailed it... But that being said, I'm sure the guy about to drop about a million on a car is not gonna debate too much about .85 million vs 1.2 million. I mean at that point, who's counting right???

A 'high performance test' of an entirely different kind

Nice to have shoes to match your caliper color...but how many shoes does one need? Apparently too many for your 918 to carry.

It appears the curb weight ratio will remain balanced considering their derriere's . Something very important in the bag not to have a cab follow them up in the rear .

I didn't know the Kardashian's got a 918.
