Just to clarify, I read the article...

I don’t know what 2012 Paris Motor Show the author attended, but the McLaren P1 was the only car of the trio which was actually there.

Porsche’s stand was vacant of the 918 Spyder - they focused on the Panamera SportTurismo concept. The 918 Spyder made its debut in Frankfurt, I believe.

Ferrari’s La Ferrari wasn’t there either, but they did show what they indicated was the chassis of their next supercar as seen here. It made its formal debut at Geneva in 2013.

I'm going to plump for a twin turbo V12 and some high voltage hybrid system, say 800V.

ICE power to the rear hybrid power to all 4 wheels.

I know that. You know that. I can guarantee that there are only a baby's handful of nerds that ALSO know that and, let's face it, his middle names aren't exactly very 21C Ferrari are they.

more than 1000bhp. Just keeping up with the Jones' and pretty pointless.
Prefer Gordon Murray's approach, keep the weight down and the engine numbers sensible.
Hey ho. They will end up in the hands of people for which the BHP figure is a mark of virility presumably.

Interesting that they've camouflaged what is basically a LaFerrari.
Did you read the article?

It don't look that special to me, to be honest.

I wonder if that's because the run of the mill Ferrari models are looking ever more extreme and spectacular.
Did you read the article?

I don't normally as they're riddled with in accuracies.

What I see on the screen is effectively a LaFerrari body with a new powertrain in the back. Maybe some small detail changes, but I would expect that the new design would be so significantly different from this that they could have left it looking like a un-camo'd LaF and no one would have took notice (beyond the extra two exhaust outlets).

And if Ferrari aren't changing the design significantly from the LaFerrari then I am sad because the LaF was a mess.

You think the T50 is going to be more useable? It has around 800BHP/tonne!

The LaFerrari design is nigh on 10 years old, I'm sure this new car will look significantly different.

As much as I love their music, Pantera aren't exactly 21c either!

How is it nearly 10 years since the P1/918/LaFerrari came out?

Doesn't seem like 2 minutes since Ferrari were launching the F50.

I'm trying to think of a single person who has got out of a 918, P1, or LaLa and said "hmm, nice, but could do with more power and performance".........



Each one of those cars is already totally "tyre limited" in reality

I am not their target purchaser (probably wouldn’t be able to afford the annual insurance and maintenance) – but I am pleased that cars still exist like this. However, upon release, this will be seen ‘cruising’ around London (insert any high profile place i.e. Monaco) and then parked in climate controlled storage to be sold years later at an inflated premium with low/delivery miles as a collector/investment car.

If I was in a position to purchase this (I am not), then these type of cars just don’t do it for me (but each to their own).

What tyres are on a Veryron?

Do you think tyre companies and hyperformance car manufacturers don't speak to each other?

Looks like the photos show two different mules. Make of that what you will.
