    OK, so it's really 7-8s. Big deal. We both think it's less than 12s and we both know it's probably more than 6s as well.

    Why is launching the car in a straight line with signficant battery charge at full throttle in Sport mode not equally as fast as Hot Laps mode? What's the car doing differently?

    Come on mclaren just give a car to a non british mag, hum.. no way
    Porsche always is ready to give a 918 to a British mag,
    After each defeat Mclaren and mclaren fans will be back with a bigger lie!
    First P1 was the King of Ring, then after defeating they said it is dangerous, then they said P1 is the king of any track except the ring, again after defeat and defeat at Spain(TG H2H) and Evo h2h, now they are back with a man like SS (He is no a legit driver even in the eyes of mclaren fans ,you say no just back to earlier pages here!)
    Ok!

    No one is lying, I understand that English isn't your mother tongue, but try to pick your words more carefully in the future.

    Didn't know MotorTrend were British...

    Hilarious Mclaren fans are, Remember when 918 performed well and defeated p1 in another magazines, you guys are not hilarious? You only counting your favorite tests and decline another tests

    That's exactly what you are doing now. It's a new test and we're discussing that at the moment, so stick to it. :)

    Well, in a recent drag event in the UK, a LaFerrari beat a Veyron quite easily and they reached speeds of around 340 km/h.

    that LaFerrari beat a veyron not so easy, it was a very close drag race,
    And of course La Ferrari is La Ferrari with a Ferrari V12 NA, not a Nissan/recardo turbo engine,
    LaFerrari is faster than Veyron ss from 0-300, P1 is not

    Never said they were.

    I'm not the one taking things as scripture like yourself. I take what info is out there, compare it to other info out there, form an opinion and move on.

    You don't see me calling 918 numbers bull****. If anything I think there are times when both cars results have not been ideal. If you'll notice, I make logical arguments for why I think things are as they are. I don't just say "so and so are liar fanboys from a british magazine."

    I'd love for you to explain why better braking distance to zero for a 918 is proof that 918 has superior braking. How does it address things like brake feel and longevity?

    Keep making statements like this. I'm sure it goes a long way towards you being an authority on anything.

    Why don't you go post your hater/fanboy bull**** someplace else? Do you realize how dumb you look saying stuff like this? I'll give you a clue: Very.

    This thread is useless without videos like the LaF vs Veyron race. Hootan, when can we see the P1 vs 918 videos you mentioned?

    You do realize that it was a stock, first gen Veyron racing the LaFerrari? LOL

    P1's engine (M838TQ) is a McLaren engine, produced in partnership with Ricardo (not Recardo). It won the 2014 Engine of the Year 3.0L - 4.0L category and came 8th overall. Ferrari's V12 didn't make the top 10. :)

    According to autocar's previous official test, the P1's high speed acceleration figures were:

    0-170 mph:14.9 sec
    0-180 mph:18.0 sec
    0-190 mph:21.4 sec

    Did they perform new 0-200mph acceleration measurements during this test for both the P1 and 918?

    I think no-one is denying that P1 may have the upper hand during high speed acceleration, but where does the the "slighlty above 20sec and 30sec" 0-200 references come from?

    Mark I always appreciate you as a diehard p1 fan it is because your claims are usually fair!
    But please be assured that some of mclaren fan boys unlike you , they are claiming to post things witch are very unfair

    Yes now I remember that veyron was 1001hp, Realzeus claimed in a way I forgot about it,
    I saw with my 2eyes Veyron SS defeated P1 and maybe it can defeated La Ferrari as well!

    Also about the P1's engine it is based on a Nissan engine as you know! I don't say it is bad but it is not made by mclaren itself ,

    What I find interesting is the mention of high speed downforce grip advantage in the p1 over the 918, not surprising considering the difference in aero, downforce and weight.
    However isn't that what the N ring is all about? High speed twisties?

    Noone,
    you know very well, that 918 unlike p1 has 0,5G braking force through lifting the pedal only... Too early to talk about longevity due to this...
