Car looks much better than the C12.
Has the electrical crap of the 918.
I imagine it will be expensive....
At this point i rather have a Cup car on a trailer with an everyday Prius in the driveway then one of these "supercar" things.

Should be pretty quick.. RUMOR has it that it did a 7:04 at the Ring..

(and supposedly that # will not be released due to it being 5 seconds too slow.. I guess they want to break the 7 minutes mark..)

love the car... between the LaFerrari, the P1 and the 918, i'd take the P1.
of course i'd also rather have a CGT than any of those.
and guess what, the reality is, i bet that at least 90% of those buying any of the three cars will already have a "proper" analogue 911-- not to mention other drivers cars-- in their stable.

Ran into Leno a couple months back while in the Malibu canyons (he's always there tooling around in one of his cars, and he is always in full denim). This time he was in his Carrera GT. We had a good chat about Porsche and I asked him his thoughts on the 918, he said at the time he wasn't sold on all the electronic aspects of the car but that is where things were headed and that is was inevitable due to the fuel / emissions requirements being put on the manufacturers. Made the comment he really like what Mclaren was doing and loves driving the 12c.
I suspect he may end up with both the P1 and 918 in his garage.
