Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

To me it looks like a more spartan version of the MP4-12C interior. Comparing this to the F150's interior I can only say that the latter is as if it came out of a star-trek movie: way more sophisticated, technology-centred and innovative. In my opinion the F150's interior in a way mirrors the price you pay for it, the P1's does not.

 

Didn't take long for that comparison!

Looks like a slightly road orientated race car interior to me and should be a great place to sit.

 

i know allready what poster my boy will have on the wall. it won't be the P1 for sure.

 

Looks incredibly boring.

Like the inside of a Nike shoe

 

A GT3 RACE CAR cockpit, they achieved!!!!!

In technology and physical ergonomics fields, it is unbeatable.

IMHO, if the central board is movable, it must be COOL!!

 

I saw no ability for it to move when I was inside, but it is canted towards the driver a bit more than it would appear in that image.

I am not convinced...but I guess they are making it 100 race car so it makes sense.

Looking forward to seeing it in person in Geneva before I pass judgement.

 

I guess I'm not the only one that's underwhelmed. There's nothing innovative, unique or interesting about the P1 interior.

It's very dull. I was expecting something more.

 

I like the simplicity of it. It is elegant, to me.

 

i dont find elegant those floating alcantara parts. they look like the remainging bits put there with no reason.

 

Dull

 

Is that a 9K redline?


Giggidy.

 

As wealthy as these owners are, an engine rebuild interval requirement of 2000 miles on a road car would be very annoying.

 

"6 seconds faster than a GT3 12c round the Catalunya Race Course"

At the Ring we were a touch faster than the GT3 McLaren's. If the P1 is really that much faster than a GT3 McLaren at Catalunya it will be very close to our 6:51 at The Ring.

If true it would be about a 1:45 at Catalunya...

Really very fast, I just question the KERS is manage automatically or only the driver can activate it?

 

I don't know. At the Ring we used GPS to arm the KERS but the driver still had to apply it but it is automatic in that the driver doesn't have to use a paddle as once armed by GPS it comes on the next foot throttle application for 4 seconds.

I told them what we did and they may have done the same. If they can generate 50 seconds of KERS per lap at the Ring or go out fully charged my guess of 6:55 at The Ring for P1 won't have been too bad...

A 1:45 is VERY fast.

 

Love this shot. Screen-capped by autoworldcar.com from the Next Steps Toward Production video, I believe. I personally love the lighting effects, though I understand that it may not be to everyone's taste.

The McLaren P1 Might Eat GT3 Race Cars For Lunch

 

the roof scoop seems dated and inelegant compared to the rest of the design.

Can't really see why people would complain about it. I actually find it integrated perfectly. And the best thing about it, is that it's a part of the Monocage. Very smart!

 

After a day of Hot Laps remember to fill up.
