Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

It's an ace of hearts on four wheels! And I love it.

 

LOVE the La Fa!

 

Not to put too strongly, but this has to be the most attractive car ever produced.

 

It keeps getting better looking.

 

The Laferrari in Monaco Is a factory car not a customer car as You can see on autogespot.de

 

The P1 looks spectacular from the rear. It's the wing, the wing posts, and the huge diffusers that make it so. It has the best looking derrière of the 3 hybrid supers - busy but in a racy and obviously functional way. From all other angles though the P1 fails to stun. Supercars should stun by looks alone. The P1 looks soft from the side and front, lacking masculinity. The Macca swoosh for the headlights and hood cavities doesn't work, the roofline too bulbous, the side cavity too imposing.

For the LaF, I actually hate that drooping body color appendage at the front that was obviously put there to evoke thoughts of F1 front wings. There is no need for that Ferrari - we already know that Ferrari is F1! This is why black should look best as it will hide that ugly pseudo front wing. Everywhere else, the LaF is stunning - my favorite element being the passenger and engine canopy. Ferrari was right to highlight this with the 2-tone color scheme as this gives the car a fighter jet look.

The 918 looks plain next to both P1 and LaF (All the better to disguise the high technology that lurks beneath, Porsche must have been thinking). Aside from the high mounted exhausts, nothing about the design is bold or striking, with the possible exception of the wheels (I love those rims).

On the street with these 3 next to each other, I am quite sure it is the LaF that will stand out, that is until the P1 rears its butt and elevates that wing to max height.

 

It's a customer car.

 

I love that front wing section. I'll bet it will look menacing in the metal.

 

I love the front wing of LaFerrari. Its like a flying, bladed weapon.

 

This one was number one on 499,i believed the first one was a black car delivered in italy ?

 

I think they are all numbered One of 499.

 

All LaF's will be One of 499, no individual numeration this time. The factory plate seen inside the car on one the pics mentioned above could mean that car was collected straight from the factory without transportation to the dealer, it is a normal procedure to assign temporary or factory plates to brand new cars collected from factory, then they'll be registered in the country of destination and that plate will be returned or just thrown away.

 

Ok thank You

 

Ferrari does this so they can as typical sell 750 of them if they want and get away with it.

 

This looks like a really bad Hot Wheels car from the 80's. It just needs really big rear tires to complete it.

 

And Ferrari will be happy to sell you a replacement at no small cost as it will surely not last long on the road.

 

If only I had such a problem!!!

 

Forgot to mention that I was talking with a future LF owner who went to the launch of both the LF and Speciale as he says he was staggered to see the acceleration figures posted for the two were identical up to I think around 120'ish. Anyone have any figures to confirm or deny that?

 

Is that so surprising? Up to a certain speed, there is more to tire traction than to full on power in terms of dragracing.

 

Speciale:
0 - 100 km/h: 3.0
0 - 200 Km/h: 9.1

LaF:
0 - 100 km/h: < 3
0 - 200 Km/h: < 7
0 - 300 km/h: 15

From Ferrari website. I don't think they've released any updated figures for LaF since Geneva, so I guess they still stand.

 

I really love it mate. Then again I am a Ferrari die-hard.
