So Ron Dennis said the P1 ran the Top Gear track in under 1:05.
McLaren P1 < 1:05
Pagani Huayra 1:13.8 (current record)
McLaren MP4-12C 1:16.2
Lamborghini Aventador 1:16.5
Bugatti Veyron SS 1:16.8
Enzo Ferrari 1:19.0
Ferrari 599 GTO 1:19.8
Porsche Carrera GT 1:19.8
Ford GT 1:21.9
Audi R8 V10 Spyder 1:22.3
C6 Z06 1:22.4
Uh, wow.
That's like the baddest kids on the block running 11s and a dude shows up and breaks off an 8.
If my inner 8 year old was shopping for a lambo theres only 1 word Countach, (lp500s or QV) Yes they ride for shit are slow suck to drive But i still want one
Almost perfectly inelastic demand.Super hot
GT3
P1, 600 kg of downforce!
Veneno
Lambo makes some nice cars. A bit behind the times, but nice none the less. That Veneno is not one of them. But hey, more power to Lambo to get $4 million bucks for an essentially re-bodied $380k car. I don't care how much weight they took out, it wasn't $3 million bucks worth. It's grown on me very slightly, and it does look good in the real life videos, but that rear end is going to be the most atrocious mess in autodom from here to eternity.
It's crazy how much money there is in the world today. Less than people thought there would be when these guys first started projecting sales numbers, but these companies are crazy for producing this volume of super expensive shit.
LaFerrari $1.6 million x 499
McLaren P1 $1.15 million x 375
Porsche 918 ~$900k x ~500
That's almost $2 billion worth of cars tied up in 1400 odd units. I guess they are just assuming that people that can afford one will buy all of them.
Seriously, look at the ass end of this thing:

I just can't help but think how bad people would be killing this if it wasn't Winkleman pulling off the cover at Geneva as an official Lambo product. But hey, I guess when I get $4.5 million to blow on a single car (i.e never), I can talk shit :lol:
The P1 has grown on me, but you're right, it's definitely no F1 in terms of aesthetics. I took this at Le Mans outside the circuit, sitting in the parking lot, surrounded by beaters (and one F40). Jizz.
