Congrats on being able to afford one of these as well...

Thanks for the tips wolfgang .

I am a fan of all cars ,I love all of them . I can appreciate a 911s all the way up to that p4/5 thing that gentleman made a few years back , what a car ( and everything in between ).

I think it best to call it like it is , after all no one pays my bills or gives me these cars for free , right?

I think the truth is they all do different things well at different times , it is a little naive to expect any one car to totally dominate the other cars at everything . The engineers are too good for that , I do think unfortunately the mac is playing catch up here though as it seems a one trick pony ( yet to prove it can even do that trick very well ...).

Thank you for the congratulations matey .

 

I actually think the 12C's interior looks BETTER!

 

That Gentleman is Reading every word right here.

 

Is it God?

 

Pulling the trigger too early. Anyone?

 

Fair comment. As stated, though, P1's biggest problem so far have been promises and price, just like the Jag.

Now if I had to find a responsible for both, I'd say Dennis. I really think that, for a number of reasons, he's lost it and should go. And then I could finally start to like McLaren!

 

They will do very well IMO. The car isn't out yet and we haven't seen any independent tests. We should reserve judgement until then. The Nurburgring isn't everything, it's way too bumpy for a modern car like the P1 to perform at its fullest.

 

No. It's Spartacus!

 

P1 is a little too close to 12c , quality no way near the other 2 especially inside .
IMO

 

As you say, the key point is that 'the car isn't out yet and we haven't seen any independent tests.' Just like Ferrari (it now appears, wisely) chose to take more time to further develop the final package, so McLaren should do the same. Of course the 'Ring isn't everything - but unfortunately it is a publicly recognised benchmark and a marketeers dream. To be schooled by a luxury Porsche cruiser that weights a baby elephant more and doesn't make claims to be the ultimate racing machine is not a good place to start. The XJ220 analogy is, unfortunately, at risk of becoming a very good one...

 

Interesting analogy with the XJ220 and I agree, except I liked that car and I feel nothing looking at the P1.

I actually agree with Jerome that the 12C's interior looks better.

Any comparison between the P1 and the 12C is a very bad one for McLaren.

I still don't believe Ferrari will post an official marketing time of the Nurburgring for LaFerrari, because I don't think they give a damn. But I'd love to see it go round...

 

Too late for P1 to be developed further , Production cars being made as we speak gents .

 

Talk about quality, one of Ferrari's weakest points.

 

And how do you guys not see that LaFerrari's interior is a blend of F12, FF and 458? The only REAL bespoke interior between those three hypercars is the 918 IMO.

 

I like 918's best as well.

 

Have you sat in the LaFerrari? I have. Trust me....its insane.

Different dimension than the 918, which I agree is very good but not spectacular.

 

I have as well and I agree completely.

 

Has anyone of you sat in 918? probably not, so you cannot make a compare.

 

Bespoke until parts are handed down to the 960.

 

Who says I haven't sat in a 918 ??

No matter ... I've compared sitting in LaFerrari to sitting in every other car i've ever sat in ... and it simply blows me away. And i'm not necessarily talking about fit & finish, or where carbon fiber might be used here and there

To each his own.
