HYPER-CAR choices.

Speculations... You don't oversize an engine by 20% and shed 250 kilos like this, especially adding a hybrid system in the process, even if your name is British Aerospace...

 

I'm also not sure about driving 290MPH on CF wheels but maybe I'm just getting old...

 

What's a Hyper Car? Is that some new model I have not heard of?

 

Try this: Hypercar

 

It's a step up from a Super Car but not quite a Ludicrous Car.

 

You saw the humorous intent, welcome to my world, or should I apologize?

 

Oh I picked up on it right away.

I was going to write something else, but I didn't want to offend any of our Euro friends. LOL

 

In reality I find most of those blokes more understanding than those stateside, less ego if I may.

 

Jim I am like you in using my cars on track and appreciating performance. However, I find the P1 a derivative of their MP4 and henceforth not divergent enough to warrant such a huge price difference.

 

P1 for when I want to go fast

Huayra for when I want to look good

 

F70 in Matt Rosso Fuoco

Yellow P1

 

F70 and the Huayra. No doubt in my mind.

 

It's performance will be hugely different around a race course than any other road car.

0-300KPH in under 17s, 6s under GT3's on Spanish F1 track, likely 6:55 on the Ring.

 

Yes but with about 50k in aero, suspension and engine mods an MP4 could duplicate it I am afraid.
I have just added a widowmaker to my garage...She will get the Switzer 700 upgrade

Nice!

Not true. P1 is a totally different animal. 0-300KPH is as fast as an Audi R8 LMP1.

50K won't buy you 1300lb of downforce and 2.5 G's of lateral acceleration.

If I was young and crazy instead of old and crazy I'd buy a real Widowmaker.

0-200 MPH in 10.9...

Respectfully disagree. If the F-car is losing its mystique, it is because they are not producing inspiring cars. No disrespect intended, but that FF is just plain wrong. (And no, I have not driven it. I don't need to drive a Dodge Matador to be uninspired, either.)

 

+1. Silly came to my mind, too.

 

There will NEVER be another car to match the 917...EVER!

 

I think you are right.

Be careful with that GT2.

 

I sure will thanks..I am going to unleash some of its hidden power with a few mods to bring it to 600hp

 

Take a look at this video: PORSCHE 917-021 THE FABULOUS STORY 1 on Vimeo

Mmm

 

Truly Wonderful!

 

Now we're talking! Maybe I do *need* an LMP car for the street!

 

Everyone had made some great points.

My choices

918 b/c of warranty and useability. I don't want to replace batteries with some of the prices being mentioned around for replacement.

P1 b/c the numbers thus far are impressive OR F150 with access to manual KERS, which it won't have.. I hope you're wrong Jim.

 

Yeah, I've been losing sleep over my current 962 obsession... A great video worth your time: MotorHEAD ??????? // Racing In The street : Group C Porsche 962 on Vimeo
As great as these hypercars are- owning an ex Prototype racer with number plates is IMHO the ultimate.
