250k seems cheap?

250k for that monster, hmmm let me think it over.

12

Wow :tup:

13

This thing is pretty sweet. :tup:

14

it really is a shame we can’t take full advantage of these things on the street

15

3187 lbs is light?

Now consider this:

P1 will be 3100 and 903 hp

and

LaFerrari will be 2800 and 950 hp

16

I can’t wait to see what the P1 really does. The F1 was so far ahead in its day (I sound old), is it fair to ass.u.me that the P1 will do the same?

X…

The engine started, and I don’t remember much of what followed, other than the feeling of being absolutely consumed. I exited with shaky hands, dribbling expletives and drool.

Here’s what I do remember: At the end of our day, when no one was looking, I hopped in the P1 with our VBox data recorder. I slowly drove out of view to the far end of the runway (nothing to see here, folks), activated race mode, waited the required 40 seconds for the suspension to lower 2.0 inches and wing to rise 11.8 inches, and then activated launch control.

Then I was going 160 mph.

Here’s what happened: The P1 took 2.6 seconds to reach 60 mph, 4.8 to 100, 6.4 to 120, and then passed the quarter mile in 9.8 seconds at 148.9 mph. Forget the Veyron. The P1 is the quickest production car tested in Motor Trend’s 65-year history.

^ That’s how you write a car review folks. And he never even said, “it’s a whole new thing”.
