186mph in 15s

Yummy

It sounds immense!

I wonder who will be first to get the Ferrari, Mclaren and Porsche together in one place (if anyone is allowed to).

Great stat isn't it.

However, for perspective, a 2012 Kawasaki ZZR1400 does it in 16 seconds.

However, for perspective, a Dreamliner can do 500mph or so.

Thanks for the heads up

Although I assume the drive video will be by Sutcliffe

Claimed by Ferrari... so until independently verified lend the performance stats about as much weight as a fleas fart.

Evo magazine have hinted at it and Koenigsegg (apparently) wanted in on the party too.

As with any stat from any manufacturer

not exactly, porsche have a reputation for actually being too conservative with their performance figures, ferrari, just the opposite...but we digress.

Cant wait to read the reviews, got I hope they dont let Jethro Bovington near it for the EVO review.

Ah ok, so Porsche stats don't have to be verified to be true. That's quite handy for the marketing department

It is THE car review of this year, I hope Evo are doing everything they possibly can to make it happen.

And that sort of knocks the whole thing flat!

[TobyLaRohne]

Off the back of this, who do you think is most qualified to write a piece on these mental cars? For sure it should be someone with real race experience, capable of getting every ounce of performance from them and communicating what that is like as an experience.


I'd prefer to read something by Sutcliffe or Harris than say Bovington of Clarkson.

[kambites]

I think that depends on whether you think the point of the cars is to go quickly around a track.

I like Steve - he has driven both the 918 and the P1 too so he'll be able to offer a decent comparison I hope.
