Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

He did a thread about it on pistonheads but doesn't go into the options in too much detail. His car does have the 4 on board cameras.

Speciale's big brother has arrived - PistonHeads

 

Thanks. Great writing by Matt, it is a pleasure to read about LaF.

 

Someone is having fun....!! Finally will have some reference on LaF vs 918, at Nurburgring and Spa. There is also a CGT. What do you think???

Interesting...meanwhile a certain Mr Hamilton seems to have acquired a Laferrari...

Lewis Hamilton Buys Potent Ferrari LaFerrari

Make of that what you will...

 

It's time Mercedes does an hypercar

 

I would love to see the maclovers excuses if they did and it beat the p1.

 

thats manuma he posts on fchat.

 

AMG bosses said that a hypercar is not in the cards.

 

So they will do it..

 

Yes i know ;-) maxige is with him

 

The current 'overseas arrival' in Canada edition of Auto Motor und Sport magazine featured a multi page article of driving impressions for the red LaFerrari press car.

 

LaF at Spa. Due to wet conditions and traffic, only managed around a 3-minute lap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44AZzDFnv1s

 

Yikes at 4.22. Huge props to Manuma for driving his (? $3million) car in these conditions.

 

+950bhp for Manu, as usual :-D.
That is the 'real' black prancing horse.

 

Nordschleife. As they said on Axis of Oversteer page this is gonna be one hell of a video

Impressive, looked at times like rush hour @ Spa!

 

Matt just posted this on mclife:

Just to throw something else into the laptime mix that no one has picked up on, when the LaF beat the P1 at Anglesea on the same PZCS tyres the mclaren had a brand new set as it rolled out of the lorry at the track. My LaF had a set of tyres on it that had already done 3000 miles of which two were track days, so they were certainly not at their best performance wise. Certainly with a new set like the P1 it would have been quicker. Jethro also did not push my car as hard as the 918 and P1 as it was not a factory car, as they didn't fancy a large insurance claim if it all went wrong.

The LaF and P1 lap were set on the same day within 3 hours of each other.

 

Case closed then. Now we only have to see who is faster between LaF and the 918 on similar tyres

 

Ouch. Makes you wonder how much faster it can go on new tires and being pushed 100%. 1s? 2?

 

Any 918 time at Anglesey?

 

1:12.4

 

Yeah, 0.4 slower than Matt's LF.

 

Does gtspirit have a clue... Do they seriously think an F1 driver, the current F1 champ to boot, needs to play the F games to secure a car...

 

So:

1.12.1 Matt's LF by EVO Jethro Bovington (on 3000k miles Pirelli Zero Corsa)
1.12.4 918 by EVO Jethro Bovington on fresh Michelin Sport Cup 2
1.12.6 Mclaren P1 by EVO Jethro Bovington on fresh Pirelli Zero Corsa.


1.11.2 P1 on Pirelli Trofeo R.

 

You know what's so ironic about that ranking?
That's how most of the driving reviews ranked their favorite.
