What Heck are you trying to say? You have a bunch of words in your posts that mean nothing.

I can't see this car being a failure. Looks like a "poor man's 918 Spyder" to me

the 918 spyder is a poor man's P1

the 918 spyder is a poor man's LaFerrari

hell, the 918 spyder is a poor man's 918 spyder.

The 918 spyder is not exciting at all in the world of the hybrid power supercars it barely registers on the scale. it's a testament to the idea that you really can make a supercar boring.


and before everyone get's in a huffy-puff, this is all fluff and not meant to be taken seriously.

If we're being serious here, the 918 just doesn't float my boat. i would rather have a new NSX than a 918 if i had the money

opinion=/=fact

P1 and LaFerrari are drag race monsters. 918 is a track race monster, hold N-Ring record.

First off
The P1 is in production, so not vaporware. As for 'ring times, there have not yet been times released for either the F150 or the P1 so I'd wait until third party times for all three surface, and I'd honestly rather have a radical SR8, a tow rig, an M5, and a motor-home if my yardstick was 'ring lap times.

Agree completely on Ferrari though, they pull some bullshit shenanigans when it comes to the media reviewing their cars.

The electric shaver look is pretty wide spread. For a short while it seemed cube shaped cars were making a comeback.... but you know.... physics.

And looks like a sports car version of the new Dodge Charger from the front. I seriously thought it was a Dodge when this video popped up..
