Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

Believe me, I also want to enjoy the Laferrari. Because I like so much Ferrari. And i want to hear you about experience of Ferrari and especially the Laferrari.

 

affecting you? who cares? i just find everything you typed hypocritical, like this very last one you replied to me.

tell me who is nervous, the one who spent 1 mil waiting for his road toy getting upset at people who are still quoting official specs of the car with naive fantasy and misunderstanding, or some one just simply point out he could have spent his time in a much better place?

for instance i dont give a flying **** about which car turns out to be the fastest, i don't own them and i will never own them. i am happy to see them all fly on the road or on the track. and i like the way they are designed. competition? the more the merrier.

so the question is, what type of competition are you (kanu) really bringing on to here that people need to be scared? i am sure we would all love to hear your driving exp on p1

but i know why i found your post odd, because you are preaching hard like a religious fanatic.

 

+1

Very few of the users here are denying the P1 of any of it's qualities, quite to the contrary many users here praise the car. Just because there is a lof of love for LaF on a Ferrari forum (no **** sherlock) doesn't mean it's time for the fanboy game.

 

LaF is NA, redlining at 9500rpm. That's all I need . . .

 

In this months Top Gear Magazine, they have splashed the LF on the cover and have a full review within. And almost too a word the review is very similar to all the others we have seen so far, again commenting that it drives like a very powerful 458.

But the article that was of most interest was an interview with Luca di Montezemolo. The interviewer was commenting on great integration of the Hy-Kers system. Luca says and I quote


"We have only delivered 40 cars, so we are really at the beginning. To be honest, we have given the first cars to clients and, if there are some small problems, they are like test drivers for us"


So you have just paid 1.2 million for you new LF and Ferrari expect you to conclude the test program for them, am I missing something here or is that just plain wrong?

Oh and I am a Ferrari fan by the way

 

Its a draw
LaFerrari vs McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 - BBC Top Gear

 

McLaren has said exactly the same to it's P1 customers. There will be updates along the way and there will be communication between the owners and the factory.

 

This explains a lot of things and I don't find it right also...

 

I have a feeling it will be a draw in majority of magazines and sites when heads cool down. I know after "grown up" Porsche a lot of journalists thought P1 is something else because blow off and fancy styling but it clearly isn't (neither is LaF).

When you look at it objectively, all three are <3 seconds, all three are <7 seconds and all three are <20 seconds. All of three are absolutely mental with power they are equipped with as well as pinnacle of today's technology.

You can hardly even choose between them since all of them are practically sold out, so they won't be able to say "Hey, billionaires, choose whichever suits you fine". These 3 cars are pinnacle of today's automotive industry. All three bring stupendous performance and driveability on table and each of them brings its own little special something.

That being said, I'll have a Porsche. Subjectively it looks the best since its not really flashy like other two. And it has no roof, so yea...these are my reason why I'm driving 918 in my sleep and not the other two

 

Well it probably means "Your car is savage how the hell did you incorporate KERS so seamlessly bla bla" and LdM basically says "Its just gonna get better".

 

Agree most of the comparisons will have a similar result. Personally I think all 3 are gorgeous!

 

yea. all the preferences towards each cars are all relative. at the end of the day, they are all head and shoulder above the rest of the supercars out there ( with a few exceptions). any owners of these 3 should really be confident on what they own and see no need to justify the money they spent.

it is really mind boggling to see certain someone having that burning desire to defend the car they purchased.

How is this wrong? Supercars are constantly developed. That doesn't stop when the first one is delivered to a costumer. A 1991 F40 is also different to one from 1989.

Mind you, every LaF costumer is very well aquainted with Ferrari. They know very well what they are getting into.

 

What I say must be true because you are so angry. But stay calm. You found strange my messages because you can not understand what is out of reach for you. You can’t see further than the tip of your nose. One thing is sure, when you press the accelerator with P1 is an explosion, an explosion of senses, apocalyptic. This is something you can’t have with the Laferrari. Ferrari has the same type of acceleration that F12 faster, that's all. Nothing revolutionary. It's fast, very fast but not so impressive. Compare the faces of journalists on videos of 2 cars and you will understand. And yes I am fanatic of P1 because it deserves that and you, you are fanatic of the LaFerrari because it’s brand ferrari, without asking you some questions (no discernment). The sound of the Laferrari is near of the F12 but stronger, that’s it. Nothing new.
in the real life when you are inside the P1, it's totally crazy. The sound (with the combination of v8, two turbos and the electric motor) goes into the depths of you , you feel possessed. You become one with the machine. The videos show only 10% of what you can feel in the reality. And even when you're outside it's like a fighter jet taking off. For nothing I would like to have another sound. There is no sound better for this car. it strengthens the bestial side of the P1. It is intimidating. I don’t want to change this sound, not for the world. Lovely !
But this, you will never understand.

 

I know you are emotionally and financially invested in P1, but you do understand that acceleration of all three cars (918 lags a bit after hitting 124mph) is pretty much the same?

I know cracking and buzzing and blow off all sound like you raised hell, but you are still going at the same pace as the other two. I think they need to put them on track to see how they go because it seems like sounds I mentioned above play important role in P1 feeling quicker while it actually isn't.

And anyway, V12&V8 NA >> 3.8 TURBO CHARGED any day of the week.

 

there you go again. marginalize the LaF and then elevate your P1. why are you still here 'defending' your pride and joy? are you that insecure? your love for your 1mil car is noted. Per LaF, "its fast but not so impressive" (and you claim to be unbiased) have you driven it in anger on road and track (because you always insist that people must drive the P1 to really appreciate it to the fullest)? who are you to say the acceleration of LaF is not apocalyptic? brutal slamming linear power from 1K to 9500rpm and that noise!!! and it's NOT the same as F12. It is instant, electric, massive torque down low combined with a manic rush to a ridiculous top end. and you are making assertions and assumptions based on the look on the faces of journos? are you serious? way to point out the obvious in that videos can only provide so much...cars are so much more in real life...ya think? as you read this post, you are thinking to yourself, "no no, but this, that" and thinking of the next verse in your P1 bible. you are trying to WIN in this discussion...and that will NEVER happen. It's not something you can win. why can't your P1 be incredible and the LaF ALSO be incredible instead of less than? wow.

 

In the beginning was P1, and the P1 was with God, and the P1 was God.

:lol:

We are wasting our time with this kind of post.

Ok, we understand your problem ...hum hum... point of view ...

 

I want to know about the experience of driving and owning the P1 (or 918 and LaF), but without the insecure mangling of the other machines. If owner has driven all 3, then a near as can be objective comparo relative to each other would be nice.

 

The so called driving experience of a fanatical possessed by a car do not interest me.
Kanu's post reveals fanatism and immaturity. Sorry. My feeling.

 

Guys, why are you letting kanu waste your time with his ludicrous posts? If anything it's bloody good entertainment!

What on earth does this even mean? I actually laughed when I read it because it's simply so nonsencial!

How is a car that accelerates faster than an F12 not impressive?

Again, complete and hysterical nonsense. The only reason anyone likes LaF is because of the badge on the front? Do you want the email addresses to the respectable journalists who've actually driven the car (something you haven't I presume) and have them confirm that for you? The only reason they praise it with words like epic and triumph is because of the badge on the bonnet?

And oh, the P1 doesn't sound that much different from the 12C/650S now does it?

 

hahaha. he should wins. let him wins. you don't disrespect that die-cast robot in front of your kid.

 

or the truth

 

let alone he might never have driven lafe to make such judgement.
but when you gamble big money in a horse race( no pun intended), you aren't gonna want to have a slight bit of change of heart.

i wish the very few lucky owners of all 3 cars will give us a chance to understand the pros and cons of all 3 cars soon.

 

No other way to say it than the fact that he is beyond therapeutic reach.
