    That 918 sounds like a spaceship and a Ferrari 430 had a baby

    I'm a lawyer by training, I can't help myself :).

    I'd just like for them to tell the truth. Not a hard thing to do.

    Even if they don't outrun Ferrari, it appears they may be able to out-Sybil them. No small feat either way.

    Hehehe GTE. You are an expert design critic? You should be. What a wonderful prose! You have a new fan.

    Funny one of my girlfriends explains LameBo's in the same way.

    A whole bunch of Triangles put together wrong.....
    I think the P1 actually looks quite good. On the Contrary LaF looks like they quit designing in the rear.

    Either of them are horrid compared to the 918 IMHO.

    I finally watched the P1 'ring video and want to congratulate McLaren on a sub 7 minute time. I'd also like to admonish them to fire the community college marketing majors they have running their PR department. What a cluster.

    When does the P1 not look horrible? Even in the flesh it looks awful, which is rare for a car at this level.

    i think the P1 is the best looking car ever made. full stop. it is intoxicating and extraordinary. not a single awkward angle to it.
    taste is personal but i cannot believe that someone could think it is not good looking.
    it makes all other cars look so ordinary.

    It's a photoshop by Autobild - in the real photos the P1 was being trailed by an F1 and yes they were taken at the MTC. Here's another from the set.

    Wow, the P1 is definitely exotic looking but the F1 still steals the heart after almost two decades.

    I think the car is sexy. I love those curves and believe the design to be a very forward thinking design.

    918 has the safest, most familiar and most predictable design - only the exhaust outlets are a break from the norm from Porsche. I have no issue with most of it, but the sunken headlamps and soft face aren't compelling to me.

    P1 has the most advanced design, most polarizing as well. It is definitely one that needs to be seen in person to be appreciated and some will still come away disliking it. I think it's a great design and there are details I would never get tired of staring at.

    LaFerrari is the only one I have not seen yet in person, but seems to fall between the safe and the polarizing of the previous pair. For me it is starting to look better than the earliest photos did and certainly looks better on video so I am hopeful I'll appreciate it in person. I agree with the person who said the design falls apart at the rear.

    What I think is funny that the most vocal critics of the P1 design are the Ferrari Enthusiast that don't even own a Ferrari!
