Do they assume none of their costumers will understand any of those numbers anyway, so they trow in some random data to make the video look high-tech? I don't like the idea of that, I just hope I'm not growing a beard. (0:54-1:08)
I'm with you on this. I was too busy looking at the car originally but wildly fluctuating numbers while graphs do something entirely different is not my cup of tea.Stuart said:
Looks great. Anyone know where it was shot? Whichever track it is has some interesting features to focus the attention - a run off area consisting of 10 feet of scrub, and then 30 feet of granite cliff. It makes Goodwood look like a Tilke designed tarmac run-off fest...
Looks like Castelloli Circuit in Spain, near their favourite Proving Ground IDIADA nr Barcelona.http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/castelloli-cir...
I really do wonder these days if this is actually a website for petrol heads due to some of the comments here. 
Its a brand new british supercar that is expected to be the next benchmark for hypercars. I think it looks stunning and in a world of nannying do gooders that hate the motor vehicle I think any company producing this sort of car people who love cars should be excited in some little way.
Personally I think it looks great in attack mode in this pick, cant wait till it arrives.

Better video than the frankly wierd one I got sent by McClaren marketing Dept today, (which they seem to have almost immediately changed for the one i the article.)
The original, below, was about lights in wind tunnel and how they made their previous video, presumably made by the geeks, geeks!

With regards to people commenting about the wing obscuring the rear window - Let's face it, when that extends upwards you're going to travelling at such a speed you won't want to be looking out the rear as you'll concentrating too much on the rapidly advancing scenery coming towards you.
I love the way the P1 looks, it's almost 'alien' like front end is superb. My only criticism of this car is the fact that it uses the tub and engine from the MP4-12C. Personally, if I were on the position to be spending over a million on a car I would want to be the bespoke product of the range. Originally it was rumoured that this car was going to have a Ricardo developed 5 litre NA V10 producing 799bhp, but now it's received a modified version of the 3.8 twin turbo found in its little brother. The fact that it shares the tub as well also makes it feel to me that it's not bespoke enough. I know other will disagree but we all have our own opinions. In contrast, the F150 (or whatever Ferrari will decide to call it) has a bespoke carbon tub (okay, so all other Ferrari cars are currently manufactured from aluminium which does make it the F150 unique by default in that respect) and will probably feature a V12 that is 'loosely' related to that of F12 Berlinetta. Surely hypercars of today deserve a high revving NA engine?? Balls to emissions etc, these cars are bought by people who don't care for such trivialities.
We have yet to see the F150 in action and it's going to awesome to have another car to make a comparison against when we do. I wonder how the Porsche 918 will compare against these two?
