A P1 only costs $200k more than the 918. And if you add the special paint scheme on the 918 the difference is only $100k.

I guess your google is broken. The CCX did the ring in 7:33 which is 46 seconds slower than the P1. I see anything from 9.8 to 10.9 for 1/4 mi times.

Excellent Ringtime.

What kind of tyres/brand were used?

Now it's time for the LaFerrari: Will it be faster than the 918?

Cheers
Robin

Nice time on the P1. Granted the Porsche is how much heavier and has how much less power? Good time nonetheless. Not a fan of Mclarens though.

The 918 isnt even production spec yet as far as I know so it may very well change a bit.

And as far as I know, 7:47 is strictly a rumor as of this point.

It is funny, though, that certain people think 10 seconds is a lot, but when you tell them a 997.2 Carrera S is 15 seconds faster than an E92 M3, all of a sudden 15 secs isnt a lot at all.
