Giving this thread a bump up again now that the reviews of the McLaren P1 are all coming in.
Surprised there hasn't been more talk on here of it given the amazing reception it's getting. People who are no strangers to fast cars (Chris Harris, Richard Meaden, Jeremy Clarkson, etc) are getting out of the car and repeating themselves over and over, having to re-record camera segments because they can't concentrate on their spiel whilst driving it, and are generally saying the car does things they didn't think possible. Cornering. Accelerating. Being able to be driven in a docile manner one second, whilst out-pacing a Veyron the next. And then being controllable despite the massive power going to the rear wheels.
And then there's the stats. Just for comparison's sake, the McLaren F1 took 28 secs to hit 200mph..................... The P1 does it in 20 secs.
Game changer? A new standard for all hypercars/supercars to strive for?
Personally I love the look of the thing too, though some still think it's fugly. It's design came about purely because of wind testing and determining what was needed for it to generate the incredible G forces it does, so it's essentially a master class in function over form - but still looks epic. I'll have it in Genesis Blue please
I love it in black, but I think it's going to date very quickly aesthetically.
Le Ferrari is the best looking of the modern hyper-cars, I am waiting for some reviews of it before deciding which to order!
Here's Raikkonen spinning one!
