McLaren P1 vs McLaren F1 - which would you choose?

[g3org3y]

With the most recent press release regarding the P1's specs/price, the question remains:

If you had the option of the two, which would you have? (is it possible to add a poll to this thread?)

McLaren P1


McLaren F1 (GTR)


I don't think the P1 will ever achieve the deity status attributed to the F1, it was just such a game changer when released. The current values are a testament to how highly thought of it is. For me, it has to be the F1.

F1, no contest for me.

[ConorE]

F1 for me any day. I've learned to love the attention to detail fused with the absolute brutality of the thing. No modern Mclaren hypercar could beat that IMO.

[Raize]

F1, reason 1 for the exclusivity, reason 2 because the P1 is hideous.
EDIT: Reason 3 because the driving position is central and that's cool.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

F1

[Mastodon2]

F1. I just can't see a turbocharged V8 ever being able to match that naturally aspirated V12.

Any chance you could scan that and post up as a PDF?

i'm sure the P1 is extremely good, but an F1 is a legendary car

One is worth what £800-1m the other upwards of £4m??? So on that alone you'd chose te F1 also one has won LeMans outright one is legendary the other yet to prove itself.

[RemyMartin]

P1.

F1 leaves me cold in every way except the engine.

[Grovsie26]

F40, i mean Enzo, i mean F50, i mean pagaini.

Opps i mean F1.

[interloper]

Easy.....F1 because it is a mechanical driving experience, no ABS, ESP, flappy paddles, you are operating a machine directly, this appeals greatly to me. I like mechanical things, not a big fan of electronics or electronic controls.....

Bit early to say isn't it?

Surely we need to have some reports about how the p1 drives

You just know that everyone's going to say that the F1 is better, that the P1 lacks 'character', 'excitement', etc. It's like some people don't want the P1 to be better than the F1.

[xRIEx]

Definitely the F1, it was the supercar for me when I was a kid, I loved it.

Also, (I believe) it is still officially the fastest ever NA production car.

[F1GTRUeno]

The P1 is chintzy. The F1 is perfect.

None of the current supercars do anything for me compared to the 80s/90s ones.
