It seems to me that this car isn’t trying to compete with the F1… At all… Or any other supercar for that matter. I don’t really consider it a supercar so much as an ultra-exclusive 4 wheeled flaunt-mobile for the uber-rich. I think that the goal was to make the most absurd and exclusive car on the planet, not the highest performance. Something that you brag about it’s top speed and (carefully) drive to be seen in somewhere, if you drive it at all. I think I’d buy one and put it under glass in the front foyer of my mansion, or maybe on a rotating display in my garage with marble floors, stained glass windows, and snap-on tools… ---

I think that the goal was to make the most absurd and exclusive car on the planet I totaly agree. I dont think the car was built to compete with other super cars. I think it was built to be in its own class. ---

Sure, come to think of it both cars are in a class of their own. However I wouldn’t put it in a glass cage, I’d leave it within a few hours drive of the autobahn. :pimp: X… ---

It actually has usable storage space in it, can be fitted with what ever gadgets you want, supposedly drives very well at normal speeds. It was suppose to be the ultimate supercar that you can daily drive. ---

Except for top speed. the F1 is still on top at 242mph I believe. I saw a review of the McLaren F1 on another British show and its pretty cool even by today’s standards. Totally CF, gold plating in the engine bay, 3 seats, cargo compartments in the side in front of the rear tires. Its actually pretty functional for a supercar.
