    I edited it.
    You insist that 918 accelerate 300-320 km/h in 10sec? Serious?? :)

    I insist that from a 'standstill' according to this 'timed' test, the p1 was a lot faster.

    but nevermind, autocar is a British magazine and the author is Steve so they Must be wrong and biased

    Come on gents! This back and forth claims without proof adds no value to the discussion - it is just "he said, she said" and smoke and mirrors. Any published test results or data from any source (even discredited British sources) will be welcome to determine which car is faster under what circumstances...

    Car And Driver(Non-Weissach example)If we had a little more testing room, we might have been able to hit 200 mph and dethrone the Veyron’s 25.5-second zero-to-200-mph tim

    0–180 MPH 17.5/– sec
    By the way just remember auto car figures for P1 + 23s for 0-186, now 0-200 in ~21s Hum

    I love the "there must have been some error/lies" sentiment among the 918 proponents :)

    I don't know, if there's a P1 deity it's probably Chris Goodwin.

    I don't think that's fair or legal,

    You can buy and download a digital copy for your pc or tablet from their website.

    The video will be on show together with EVO and TG h2h videos, or maybe together with Mclaren Ring record of 6:30??

    I don't think they will release their ring time anytime soon, according to the latest autocar article p1 is way faster at high speeds and has a lot more grip.

    My guess is maybe they will release it 10 years from now to compare it to the 918's successor.

    After several defeat it is understandable for us your feelings, just like a child, hum, by the way auto car results is no legit to us because it is opposite to the real tests by more reputable magazines , I am happy because I was a participant at a h2h between the two and I am 100% sure about the result,
    AFTER dozen and dozen of times defeated and nightmares , your childish behavior is understandable

    Remember Porsche is almost always ready to give a 918 even to the British mags! but Mclaren is almost always refused to give a P1 to a non-british mags, Kudos to people at EVO and TG for publishing the real figures
