My god that turbo sound... it sounds awesome. I have to say...

What's better than an Italian V12? Yeah... 2 of them

 

Can't wait to drive it in Assetto Corsa...

Each to their own I suppose .....you guys are wrong ferrari is the best :P

Since we're talking about the looks only...

 

1. 918 Weissach with the optional Martini Racing livery

2. P1

3. LaFezza

 

I download the very long P1 Press Release into my phone on Thursday and am reading it every day I'm on the bus.

Here's a quote: "The engineering priority was unmatched aerodynamic performance... Every duct and every surface does a job, either in aero or cooling. Like everything on the McLaren P1, it's there for a reason, says Design Director Frank Stephenson."

 

I think that totally defines the McLaren. They made it as beautiful as possible. It screams I'm the hi-tech future, kids!.

 

The reason why I put the 918 so high is that it sort of reminds me the Carrera GT in many ways. And I adore the Carrera GT.

 

LaFerrari? Meh, I don't like the nose.

 

By the way. Did you know that they had the 2008 MP4-23 F1 car in the studio for a year and that "intersection of the double element rear wing and design of the endplates are the same as that on the 2008 MP4-23"? :eek:

The Hyper-3

 

Bad thread name, but oh well.

 

Anyway, since the current HyperCar battle is seen between 3 cars, this is a simple "what do you prefer" out of the 3!

 

So try to have no fighting, no bickering and no holding up copy's of magazines & webpages* and no "I think X car should be in because"... just a right up "I like x because of whatever reason". Mmmmkay?

So here are the contenders:

The McLaren p1...

The Porsche 918...

[ATTACH]20017[/ATTACH]

The Ferrari LaFerrari

[ATTACH]20018[/ATTACH]

So there you have it, the 3 Amigos or the Good, The Bad & the Ugly!**

 

 

*unless they contain anything to do with Pixie lott

 

** Make your own mind on what is what!

There's already a thread for this :nods:

The three amigos, all 3 cars have their advantages and are freaking brilliant however if you asked me to choose one I'd pick the ferrari second choice would edge very narrowly to the 918

You can tell I did my research beforehand... :lol:

 

 

Well feel free to delete/lock as you see fit!

918.

 

Looks like I'm the odd one out here, but it's the best choice for me personally.

The P1 is far too.. perfect (doesn't have that flair)

And the Ferrari is... just.. pretty. But not.. good at anything else for me.

[The Compensator]

I know it's not a hybrid, but what about the One:1?

[calster17]

Keeping this to the new new ones, as although that's in the same class/category, everyone seems to be pitting the Hybrid 3 agents each other.

[calster17]

Your not alone there Clarence...I'm in the 918 corner as well.

 

Looks alone, the others just don't do it for me...less so the Ferrari, which i think is one of the worst looking cars to come from Maranello. Theres a reason why Pininfarina & Ferrari should work together.

 

I could go on a massive rant about the 3 cars, but I wont as most, if not all would disagree with me & 2, Im not after a Q&A about why I should't dislike X about whatever.

[The Compensator]

The K'segg is the Joker; the one who is silently laughing at those three fighting each other.

 

My list:

 

1. P1

2. 918

3. LF

None of those three/four look amazing nor totally ugly, imho. I think the 918 is the prettiest or them all.

Poll added.

Andreaz slapped.

[CarMadMike]

Some quite rare (as far as I know) footage of the LaFerrari on the road, with the added bonus of an enzo for comparison:

 

 

The enzo sounds better imo.

[T1M]

I'd be tempted to say the 918 after seeing it on TG... it's really awesome, and I love the dashboard. But after seeing the videos of the LaFerrari.. I'd possibly go back to saying LaFerrari is the best. :hmmm:

[TDUZoqqer]

918, becuse this

:oook:

[mcwaller123]

I love Mclarens so I'm definitly with P1

[CarMadMike]

Small Bump.

 

Motortrend managed to get the 918 and the P1 together on leguna seca, a very detailed review is on their site here, and a video should follow shortly:

2015 McLaren P1 vs. 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Comparison - Motor Trend All Pages

 

Once again Ferrari were ridiculous and pathetic.

Quite disappointed that this test seemed to back up everything I've heard about the P1 so far, it doesn't change the 'which one would i buy' question but it seems to be very temperamental and once again needed interference from the team to get it to perform as it should. Porsche seem on to a winner where the P1 is concerned.

german engineering --> 918!

nothing else
