Suddenly the Porsche 918 looks kind of boring.

I think it definitely now looks tame, but it's still awesome. It'll probably look the least ridiculous in 15 years. Still think they will have the most trouble with the mega price tag.

I suppose those wheel well openings are a nod to the Contach but that is awful IMO. So few new cars actually look good...

By the way, if anyone has a minute to try it, download the McLaren app. It is super cool. It's one of those things that, while fairly simple, makes you realize we are rapidly headed into a very, very different era of the human experience.

With the new Ferrari and Lambo, as awesome as they look (the Ferrari wins my vote) the McLaren is suddenly looking like the deal of the century.

But the LaFerrari is the new Enzo. It's got legs. And a pretty face to go with it. Kinda like Sophia or Gina. Timeless. I think it'll be a contender.

Did you notice if the Koenigsegg comes with carbon fiber condoms in the glove box?

Isn't "the LaFerrari" in the Department of Redundancy Department? The TheFerrari.

It's just supposed to be called "LaFerrari." It's not the Ferrari LaFerrari. I sort of get the name, but it's destined for eternal mockery because of the inevitable desire to add "The" when speaking English.

Any way you slice it, LaMarketing department has clearly LaRun out of LaIdeas.

I'd take it:

 

[FENZO]

They should take a lesson from Harry Carey, have an ice cold Budweiser and pronounce it "Irarrefal". Now that's a spiffy moniker.

The new Rolls Royce Wraith

Looks "ok". Really boring color choice for a vehicle introduction. That headliner is pretty awesome though.

Gee, that grille must be a pain in the *ss to keep clean...

Supposedly Ron Dennis said the P1 drove to a new lap record on the UK Top Gear track and it was under 1:05.

Holy. Cow.

McLaren P1 < 1:05
Pagani Huayra 1:13.8
McLaren MP4-12C 1:16.2
Lamborghini Aventador 1:16.5
Bugatti Veyron SS 1:16.8
Enzo Ferrari 1:19.0
Ferrari 599 GTO 1:19.8
Porsche Carrera GT 1:19.8
Ford GT 1:21.9

That's playing an entirely different sport. Wow.

McLaren do use the TG track as their regular test track. There is often a McLaren hammering round there doing lap after lap on the edge. Therefore their test drivers will be extremely familiar with the track which could account for a second or two

The new Fcar must have had a profound affect on DBK, bring out his feminine side.

That WAS worthwhile! Gotta love technology.
