Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

My firm is into stretch film. A 1μ thicκness is something I have yet to see. Big words...

They could also make it out of a sheet of graphene

 

You're posting two articles to counter a guy who may have actual expertise in that field lol

They could also make it out of rainbows and dreams. I feel like this whole project is going to be a lot of big words and dreams not realized. One will never be tested by a mag because they're all owners cars. They'll just sit in garages of 100 oil sheiks.

 

a single sheet of graphene can be 1 atom in thickness, though they would probably have to use more than 1 sheet for the badge

Truly hideous

 

Might be the wheels but starts to look really good to me, apart from the positioning and the shape of the headlamps

 

Even so, after long years, I'm still waiting for a vbox data sheet from an LaFe owner...

 

Nice that this aston will have NA V12

 

The most astounding thing is the smallest—the badge. Similar to what we previously reported, the etched aluminum front badge is just 70 microns thick

1 micron... LOL!

 

As expected, the Red Bull makes all the other current (an probably future as well) hypercars look like ancient bricks.
Amazing piece of engineering.

 

Making claims is one thing, delivering a finished product a totally different one. Remember when Ron Dennis used to say that the P1 would be quicker than a GT3 race car round a circuit?

 

Leiters further commented that Ferrari first needs to get its roadmap of technology and innovation finalized. The supercar brand really wants to undertake something completely new, he said. It won’t be a road car with a Formula 1 engine like they once pioneered with the Ferrari F50.

“The roadmap will be finished in about six months,” Leiter said. “So my guess is that we could be three to five years away from a new limited-edition hypercar. Part of the plan is to ensure that the technology used in the next hypercar can be cascaded through the rest of the range.”

How does it match up with the film your company handles? Thicker or thinner? Were your expectations on point?

I did see a video about the production of graphene and you couldn't see the 1 atom thick sheet until you got plastic on it to make it easier to handle

 

I can't wait until we see the laptimes this will put down

 

LLDPE, 20-35 microns depending on the application and usage.

 

Back on topic, forget the AMRB car, this is real right now and I don't think it can get any better than this. SHAME Laferrari wasn't just this from the start

How could it be a track car all along? There is a reason that there are road supercars (extremele capable on the track though) and dedicated track cars (which are rubbish on the road really).

 

Watch the video bud it'll give you chills. No chance anything AMRB comes up with can be more exciting than this.

 

That's not what I said chap.

 

Lol but mate you responded to the post in less time than the actual video so you didn't even watch it. It's a LAF v P1 v 918 thread and there's no more awesome variant of any of them than the FXXK. Let's just discuss that....

 

Jeez, have you seen the cabin view, those pillars!!!! A letterbox view of the world...

We have to wait and see, however the P1 was just a different case because the car was nowhere as extreme as this one in its concept and design. Everybody with a little bit of car knowledge could have told that those claims were BS by looking at the technical specs alone of the P1, before the car even got the chance to hit the road.
Here I don't even care about the claims those of Red Bull are making, I am interested in engineering, technical innovations and performance, and the Valkyrie possesses each of them in a quantity never seen before for a road car.
Only chance for those who are against this project is to hope that the car will have critical problems once it will be finished (hence why, as you said and I agree with you, we have to wait and see the final product), otherwise the standard of "hypercar" is going to be utterly redefined.

It depends on what you mean with "exciting".
If you mean "powerslide around with a fake track car which has a lot of power and very little downforce" then yes, I agree with you. Otherwise I don't, because the FXXK is a not-road-legal track toy which weighs too much and has too little downforce to be taken seriously as far as real race cars go. Why am I saying this? Because if were so lucky to be capable to buy and drive something which is not road legal like an FXXK my idea of "exciting" would be equal to "raw track performance".
The FXXK is more or less about as fast as a P1 GTR, thus it would probably get beaten on equal tyres by a P1 LM; the Valkyrie and its track version, if everything will go well and promises on performances will be kept (see the comments above for this), will completely be in another category.
But this will not be a problem for Ferrari since it is how it is supposed to be, because Ferrari never had the interest to design the LaFerrari nor the FXXK to be so extreme for their clients from the very beginning and, likely, it won't have it even in the (near) future because that's not what their clients want. There's always the F1 Clienti program for that.

 

The on paper specs of the Valkyrie are more than impressive. We have seen many times grandiose projects fall on their face though. Most of the times they don't even make it into production. I am hopeful that the Valkyrie (I won't call it an Aston, it has nothing to do with the Gaydon firm really) will make it; I quite like the project and especially the N/A V12 in these turbocharged times! I am quite skeptical about it's roadworthiness and usability though.

 

And that is only but one of the many things that makes this machine NOT a rival to P1 918 LaF. Completely different latitudes of "road car".
