When will it happen?

La vs P1 vs 918
 
I'm not holding my breath. I remember the magazines having to borrow an Enzo from a private owner who had them run his swap meet or flea market or whatever it was banner across the windshield.
 
Take away the music to hump by and the breathless fan boy dialog and...918 may be too many.

"Highly recommended." woohoo.

3rd out of three?

Impressive!
 
Frickin' A!
 
Looks a little nervous compared with the P1, lots of counter steer there. I agree on the Fan Boy comment. I would bet it won't be as fast at the ring as the other two.
 
I liked the sperm comment.
 
The 0-100 stat is staggering.
 
It certainly is. The last time the same publication tested what was a pretty fast car at the time (Ford GT), it took 8.4 seconds. :lol If you really want to your brain to melt, think of the fact that when Ray's yellow TT GT won the inaugural Car & Driver 0-200-0 shootout, it went 0-100 in 6.1 seconds.
 
Is it traction control combined with the hybrid? Regardless it's just unbelievable.
 
AWD + launch control + endless torque from the electric motors.

Gentlemen,

It is quite mind bending. Every time I think "this will surely be the pinnacle of performance before emissions and regulation end the party" I am dead wrong. If anybody has them please post up the performance test #'s of the La and the P1. Would make a nice side by side armchair comparison.

I am digging this car more and more, think its second to LaFerrari in looks, and I think this car will prove as fast or faster than the others. Time will tell though. Surely there will be a side by side eventually.
 
I put a deposit on a 918 and it is due April / May. I couldn't be more excited. I have driven the car on a track and on the roads. It is by far the best car I have ever driven. Hands down.
