Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

Really a gimmick then

918 has a push to pass button as well but I believe it works at all times

 

"Charge" would add more charge, but it seems like hitting "boost" would stop the drain on Kers and cause the system to top off more quickly.

 

Correct me if I am wrong but…..I've yet to read about a 'boost button' on LaFerrari. I get the impression that if you wanna go faster you mash the pedal down more.

The BEST 'boost button' is your own foot.

 

If you're not in boost mode in the mclaren and your foot is all the way down then you will get 100% of the power from the ice and electric motors. If you're in the 918 and you put your foot all the way down does it not give you 100% of the power all the time? I would guess that at the very least in hot lap mode that the 918 is already giving you 100% so their push to pass button won't do anything more in those circumstances? Also if it has run out of battery power (for example down the Döttinger Höhe straight at the end of its lap) then it won't work there either

 

If you don't use the IPAS button at all then I guess this is true. But I think the charge button does it quicker due to the over revving of the engine.

 

Both a Gimmick then. Long live Ferrari.

 

I think that it's nice to have the option. If your friend is sitting next to you in your new hybrid hypercar and asks what the point of the hybrid is and what affect it has on the performance, you can simply user the IPAS to give them a real shove in the back and show them. Everyone that has used it has been really impressed. As I said I think it is purely for fun. Why would you not have it?

 

WHERE THE HELL IS A SINGLE PIECE OF INDEPENDENT INFORMATION ABOUT LA FERRARI?

what's the problem with the car? it is now March 2014?

 

I heard from the factory they're waiting for P1's ring time first.

 

Along w/a Huayra, Venom GT, One:1, and Veyron:du jour.

 

then that IS a problem

there is no way on earth the ferrari will ever come close to p1's lap time, on any track other than a dragstrip

and even on a dragstrip i'm not so sure

 

I for how solid is the "heard"?

 

that was definitely sarcasm on igors side hahaha

 

based on what? The complete lack of independent information on La Ferrari? What are you? a psychic?

 

from watching his posting history, he hasnt had anything good to say about any ferrari ever... hes always got some quip about it as evidenced in the last page or 2. yet he claims that he buys every new ferrari that comes out *sans laferrari*


....if i had nothing good to say about any ferrari i buy, why would i keep buying ferraris?

makes you wonder

 

A lap time on a drag strip?

He ordered a P1 and ever since has been very critical of all things Ferrari so you should take his biased, childish and often non-sensical comments with a lot of salt.

 

Ferrari have nothing to prove. They didn't make any claims that the LF would "break all the records" so I'm confused as to what it is that you think they have to prove?

If they claimed that they smashed the record for the Nurburgring but stated that they would never reveal the time or provide any evidence of it would you take their word for it and believe them?

 

sometimes, all you need is a pair of eyes
in this case, i can also compare 12c vs. f12. the dna will trickle down, or should i say up?

 

Didn't you rave about the F12 here when you got yours?

Yes, you did: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ff-f12/407696-f12-berlinetta.html

Why so anti-Ferrari now? You McLaren guys are very odd.

 

That's a rather stupid thing to say given that noone knows what each car is really capable of. Having said that, the LaFerrari should be a lot quicker down the dragstrip based on their factory 0-300 kph times.

 

Maybe he biased like you. Aren't you the one who doesnt read the articles and hates everything McLaren?

 

You're too predictable.

Instead of proving their car works, maybe Ferrari could just explain why customers in the UK and North America have been told to anticipate an approximate one year delay on delivery of their LaFerraris?

Says the guy that's been repeating himself endlessly for how many months now?

So, what (in your opinion) do Ferrari have to prove?

 

They're just claims, no proof no video. I think their pr is terrible. How could a company make such claims and not have proof. Just think if McLaren did that you guys would post 300+ pages of hate.

 

Look up the definition of "accuracy". There are no reasons to change what I have been saying here.

How about we start with 1,255 kgs.

I love irony.
