I just have a soft spot for McLarens. Plus I think it looks much better

Let's not forget the LaFerrari, though. My least favorite of the 3 hyperhybrids, but those numbers...950bhp in a 2700lb car. 40hp more than the McL, 65 up on the Porsche; 300lbs less than the McL and a thousand pounds lighter than the Porsche. That thing is going to be utterly sociopathic.

(I say the McL is going to be faster than the 918 on the Top Gear track but I'm not changing my name if it is)
