Sounds like the result will please many here and prove Apolo (and others) correct!

Well, unless a large lottery win lands I'll never experience either, but I'll say that unequivocally I would not want the McLaren.
It's just a little too try hard in terms of the design in my opinion.
The Porsche is however an utterly stunning car.
Usual adage is that if looks good it goes well.
Seems that still stands.

In the same issue they also named the Subura P1 as one of the top 20 cars of the last umpteen years. I had the misfortune of driving one of these once. Aside the completely numb steering and endless interminable understeer, the single worst crime of that particular car was a set of brakes made out of rice paper and loom bands. You had more chance of stopping in time using the freakin handbrake !
In summary: i'd take the P1 everytime. The porsche is the weight of a small herd of elephants and looks a bit rubbish as well.

you are in dreamland about the weight of the 918, its 100kg more than a P1, along 40% more torque, 4x4 , rear wheel steer, forged carbon, super light ali ect,In summary: i'd take the P1 everytime. The porsche is the weight of a small herd of elephants and looks a bit rubbish as well.
the cars are poles apart, not just in performance either.....
as for the looks
