Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

The CTR3 should be so boring (very Cayman like) but it's just so sexy. Fascinating car.

 

This thread has become absolutely hopeless.

 

Is it a concept with some shared 918 tech, a car built with a great deal of the 918 or something different entirely?

EDIT- nevermind. Google is my friend

Still, it would be interesting to know if Porsche would remove the hybrid systems and batteries from a 918 for the right customer with the right budget.

 

Either way, it would be a fantastic car. I hope it's performance will be better that the GT2RS

 

Can we get this thread back on topic please?

 

The la Ferrari reviews seem to be fantastic .

 

I've read on another forum (germancarforums) that there will be car&drive review of customer 918(they are apparently impressed) and that by Porsche calculation stock 918 should be second slower around Top Gear test track.

Since P1 was test raced there for the entire development and considering 12C got fantastic results there its actually not that big of a gap. Should be interesting how they compare on the other tracks...

 

Yes the c and d review is apparently very good indeed for the 918 .
Autocar doing full 918 test too soon . Interesting times for sure .

 

Sorry if I missed it but, second slower to whom?

 

Also, that ruf sounds so SEXY!! That is what I think an awesome engine sounds like.

 

To P1 on TG track.

Oh yeaa! That will be interesting. They will test it at Mira?

 

Yes tested at Mira with same drivers

 

Interesting...You have some info about results maybe?

 

Little bit of info. In that same magazine a 650S spider 2 people full tank : 100-200 kph 5.6 secs.
918 Weiss pkg 2 up full tank 100-200 kph 4.8 secs.
Less than a sec difference. Not bad for the baby McLaren.

 

Which one?

 

The law of diminishing returns.

 

This is better for lap times

Anybody has any idea how much a race car like this costs?

 

What a car.

 

LMP2 cars cost about £350,000.

 

Is it a huge range from 300K-1M+? Some are winning cars.

 

It is now true for new LMP2 chassis, that are running under 2011 regulations of cost cutting+production based engines. Chassis costs 350 000 euro + engine costs (around 80 000)

Porsche RS Spyder is a car from previous LMP2 generation build without idea of cost cutting. As, firstly, it was built for rich Penske Motorsport, I believe 1 chassis may cost around 1 mil euro. Engine is custom built pure racing block.

Peugeot 908 FAP LMP1 sold for 1,7 mil euro

Audi 2001 LMP R8 sold for 1 mil dollars

2001 Bentley Speed 8 sold for 2,5 mil dollars

How does one even service such a car? If they are factory cars, will they provide you with parts or details on how to fabricate parts?

 

New video on the 918, it definitely looks fast [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlgJV37KUz4]2015 Porsche 918 Spyder: A Glimpse into the Future! - Ignition Ep. 109 - YouTube[/ame]
