LaFerrari vs McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 - Group Review Round-up

Показать описание
There are three new hybrid heavyweights in the hypercar field: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. Earlier in the month I was fortunate enough to experience all three cars in a five day period so felt it was only fair to offer some feedback comparative aspects from the experiences I have had.

I'm not comparing these cars as to their technical driving ability - I have not been at the wheel pushing them hard, merely from the feedback you first feel on a basic level and my own thoughts on the head to head comparison.

Which would you buy out of the three?

Thanks for watching, Tim

918 spyder is the clear winner in price and everything else.

The P1 and LaFerrari are brilliant cars, BUT they both sort of jumped on Porsche's hybrid hypercar idea and didn't do it as well. Both the P1 and Ferrari are basically just big power gasoline engines with a small electric motor thrown on just to say they are a "hybrid". The 918 on the other hand is the most technologically advanced car EVER MADE much like the 959 was when it came out. That is FAR more impressive in my mind to put a racing V8 with NO BELTS coupled with not one, but TWO electric motors all working in unison? I don't think people realize just HOW amazing an achievement that is! As Richard Hammond put it, the P1 and LaFerrari are showing us the max that cars are capable of TODAY. But the 918 is showing us the supercars of the FUTURE. Anyone can boost a V8 and make a lot of power. But what Porsche has done with the 918 is FAR more impressive. And this notion that the 918 is somehow the least great of the 3 is ridiculous. It's the quickest, and has the best lap times of ANY production car on every track it's been tested on.

I'd go with the 918 simply for the extra luxuries you get, more forgiving for just casual driving, more like an all in one car compared to the others, to me it looks a lot like a Carrera GT, I love it!

Engineering-wise....Porsche is by far the best. The words of a mechanical engineer with a phd and experience in racing car development, not my words. What Porsche does..meaning, insane speed, insane efficiency and still luxury, usability, comfort, etc. is far harder to achieve than just raw speed with a totally stripped out car like the Mclaren is, or a mixture of the two like the Ferrari is.

If I had a few million I would choose the Porche then second the P1 and at last the LaFerarri..

Porche looks awesome sounds great beast interior and everything for a much cheaper pricetag.

Chris Harris used to be my favorite car reviewer but you're same league right now. Very analytic review, without choosing sides, with a lot of emotion and love for every car. Glad I subscribed. Keep it going, dude! Shmee150

Quality review shmee quality.

I have a feeling Top Gear are spending the entire BBC 2015 budget on getting these three in a showdown on camera via Stig3, Until

BTW i still think the 918 sounds like a computer game car

My list:
1. Koenigsegg Agera R
2. Pagani Zonda
3. McLaren P1
4. Pagani Huayra
5. Rest…

I don't care the track versions of the cars, as well the One:1

To me this has nothing to do with the numbers. All 3 are phenomenal cars and you'd be one lucky SOB to own or even drive one. But to me, the Ferrari is more of a work of art that I'd prefer to admire from a distance. Something to me just draws me towards the P1. Maybe it's just the name I'd love to own knowing the mighty F1 is it's grandaddy. I'd have to go with McLaren.

The 918 beats the P1 and the LaFerrari on the Nurburgring, the 918 is made purely for the track!

Porsche 918 Spyder has shown its value at Nürburgring with a laptime of 6:57. Therefore is the most balanced and developed among hybrid hypercar. P1 and La Ferrari are great cars, but they have to prove at Nürburgring what are made of. Till then Porsche 918 Spyder remains at the top of the "hybrid hypercars" food chain.

In my very biased opinion, I'd take the McLaren P1.

I think i would take the LaFerrari. The P1 also is a great car and i'm a big McLaren fan but the LaFerrari is just so good for the track and street. The 918 also is a sick car but for me it's not that nice. It's rlly hard to choose but this time Ferrari wins for me.
Great video! :)

Porsche 918 is my choice, because of the hybrid setting. But in design I like more the McLaren P1. The La Ferrari has the best engine and best noise!
Great comments Shmee150.
