Steve has driven all 3 of these hybrid HyperCars. The question I have is "how the hell do you go back to driving anything else after essentially experiencing driving ecstasy." An absolute purely mind blowing heart pumping automotive threesome is what the 918, p1 & LaFerrari are. I'm glad they all exist. I love them all. Sadly probably never drive any but knowing they exist makes me happy.
Alex Zevallos, I would say that, thanks to there existing the future sports cars will benefit with that. And then we all can have a piece of that experience (in a small dose).
I like LaFerrari better than the P1
918 advantages compared to P1 and LaFerrari:
-Spyder (one of the reasons its heavier)
-Torque
-0-60 time(faster than both)
-Cost (~500,000 euros less than LaFerrari, even rich people can appreciate a saving)
-AWD (safer in the real world)
-Interior
-Comfort
-Unchallenged Nurburgring time
-Electric range (one of the reasons its heavier)
-Exterior is better looking, its beautiful rather than in your face, striking (this point is subjective)
-Exhaust pipes are on top of the engine(how cool is that)
-4 wheel steering
-Reliable (company track record)
918 Impresses me the most and its not like the other two don't have their advantages. I'm glad all three are distinct. My pick is the 918. All this is subjective but its fun to talk about it, its like sport teams, but more accessible since you can actually experience it. Our debates help drive these companies.
Edit: There is no denying that LaFerrari and P1 has more presence and is quicker on straights, its just that 918 manages to cover more areas while still being ridiculously fast for a lot less money.
LaFerrari advantages compared to the 918 spyder:
-Coupe ( better performances )
-0-124 mph & 0-186 mph ( Ferrari 15 sec, Porsche 20 sec = demolition )
-RWD ( driving experience and pleasure compared to AWD, traction control will keep you alive )
-Sound ( the most powerful naturally aspirated V12engine in a road car 800 bhp )
-Active aerodinamics ( front and rear wings to provide maximum amount of grip )
-Looks ( subjective but definetely more extreme and apropriate for a hypercar )
-It's a Ferrari ( nominated for the second time as the world's most powerful brand in the world )
-Top Speed and Power ( 214mph vs over 218 mph and 875 bhp Vs 963 bhp )
-Ridiculous speed and still handling of a 458 ( responsive and predictable )
-Kerb weight ( 918 's1640 Kg vs LaFerrari 1255 Kg )
-Regenerative breaks constantly recharghing the batteries
-Blistering quick gearbox from F1
As for the Nurbungring part i reckon Ferrari never really tryed hard to set a record but there is a prototype of LaFerrari FXX that according to rumours it went round the ring in 6:33 sec. As for the reliability problems as you said i'd like the link to that info because i never heard a thing on the internet.
Lorenzo Locchi i would not compare those cars by performance. On some tracks Porsche will be faster, on others P1, on others Ferrari. I think it's more a decision of style and character. P1 = best cool looking british style. LaFerrari = Most aggresive showoff italian temperament character. Porsche = Timeless "standart" (compared to the others) just good looking stlye.
Lorenzo Locchi
Check out Porsche response to its competitors: www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/Industry-News/Porsches-918-doesnt-need-to-chase-Ferrari-and-McLaren-says-supercar-project-manager/
I agree with most of your points. You have to remember that Porsche pricing is a LOT lower than Laferrari, its about 500,000 euros less than 918. That is not 40k. That fact alone puts LaFerrari in a different league, even then Porsche has its distinct advantages. The weight of 918 you mentioned, is a problem but if Ferrari were to include all the features of the 918 that is including electric range and the fact that its a spyder, LaFerrari would be just as heavy. If Porsche were at the same price and same electric system then we could really compare them.......

I agree.
Lorenzo Locchi
no evidence whatsoever that the black laferrari lapping n-ring few days ago was any different than any standard laferrari (maybe exaust note?): it was running on p0 corsas, same aerodynamic layout...etc. manually clocked by rsnurburgring at 6.35 pace, but that's unofficial and hope ferrari will never make it official...too amusing make the germans believe they have the fastest car around nordschleife... they believed for ages carrera gt was faster than the enzo on n-ring, they constantly believe their national football team would obliterate italians any euro or world champs match... germans..you gotta love them
Oh.. My... Godd!!!! The sound of that engine! AMAZING!! The P1 and 918 are cool and all. But nothing compares to the sound of a good V12!
Greatest hypercar ever made. Ferrari shows with the LaFerrari that they are still on top of the game and nailing it.
Steve Sutcliffe and Chris Harris are by far the best auto journalists.. they convey such emotion through their videos
Range Rover wins!
Top Gear, then Chris Harris. This guy is so so.
Video: LaFerrari - Maranello's new 950bhp masterpiece reviewed Ferrari LaFerrari review - Maranello's new 950bhp masterpiece tested #cars #news #Ferrari
By far one of the best reviews I have seen in a while. As a die hard Ferrari fan/petrol-head I really do appreciate your insight and opinion on this amazing vehicle. Thank you Steve, and thank you Autocar.
Steve, you are very lucky as you say. Fantastic video, maybe your best. You have now driven all 3 super cars and the best was saved to last. A real super car engine with great sound track, modern aero package and after watching CarmagazineTV video on the tech used to build this car, one realizes how complex the tech is when most think 918 or P1 has better tech. That is not the case. Ferrari have simply build a comfortable and useable F1 car for road. And with all the flair and drama that only comes with a Ferrari.
Great job Steve, I really enjoyed watching this review! The car is amazing, and I think is the best of the 3 titans you tested, not just because it's a ferrari, and has de most power, but it's also de nicest to look at. Again, great job!
Amazing car and amazing video... Your best by far..
Great review, Autocar!
I've absolutely fallen in love with the P1 and I truly do think it will be the definitive performance car of all time (due to numerous trends in the industry and peaks in technology), but this LaFerrari undeniably has more soul than the P1.
*jingles the Italian car cliché swear jar* Time to pay up.
SpecialKLSX but ironicly when people have to bash on italian super/hyper cars being unreliable that clichè is a "fact" right?
Well it used to be a fact. Then they hired germans...
So they aren't unreliable anymore. They're just... boring, and safe? *tosses a few into the German car cliche swear jar*
SpecialKLSX Bringing a German inside Maranello is punishable by death as set out by our God, Enzo Ferrari. This isn't Audi-borghini.
SpecialKLSX Nope, even the 458 was catching on fire...as ferraris have done fr YEARS
Really nice review Steve! Very interesting to hear about the LaFerrari's accessible and friendly driving dynamics! I liked the P1 the best but this video is making the LaFerrari start to grow on me. How can you beat the sound of a wonderful Ferrari engine? Thanks again guys!
How come you are in every vid I watch?
1810mex Because he's a car guy...
LaFerrari, as always the best... i wonder when they meet to discuss the new model...they simply say... make it the best...Feeling sorry for P1 ;)
The most weird thing is all the 3 hypercars are very friendly.
2JZ, RB26DETT N1.
For me , all supercars are great but Ferrari is a Ferrari
+Miodrag Dimitrijevic
Ripoff of a Pagani
HigherPlanes I didn't knew that... But since I was a kid,I like Ferrari. Back than there was a TV series , I think it was called Miami vice,I'm not sure,Don Johnson was a lead role. And in that series,he drove a Ferrari ,I think 340 spider,and I loved that car. I like Lamborghini too because of their aggressive look.
Miodrag Dimitrijevic
Well there are a lot of similarities between the body style of the pagani and the LaFerarri and I think Ferarri copied many aspects of that design.
HigherPlanes I'm not gonna say that it is not possible :) True,there are a lot of similarities between those two cars. I'm a huge Ferrari fan, and that's the reason I didn't pay any attention to that possibility :) .
Miodrag Dimitrijevic
It doesn't really matter ferrari is great car anyway =)
Man... when Ferrari does a car right, there's nothing better. The sound... wow.
Nobody noticed that UFO at around 7:02....it's quite fast.
Holy crap your right!! Haha
Wtf thats crazy
MrLogicChannel who looks at a F**** bird in a video about La Ferrari...?
lapamful bug
MrLogicChannel theres actually 3. one is flying from the left to the right in frame 7:01
Absolutely amazing car, better looking than P1 and 918 aswell...Well done Ferrari :)))
This guy's excitement is infectious
That car is absolutely brilliant. The 918 looked too conservative and while the P1 also looked pretty hot IMO, This LaFerrari is the best looking. The P1 sounds brilliant for a turbocharged engine but this car sounds absolutely mental which is what you want from a Hypercar. But it doesn't really matter because the P1 and LaFerrari are both sold out and you had to meet a extremely high criteria to even have the chance to own them and although the 918 is brilliant in it's own right, it doesn't quite have the level of magic that the Mclaren and Ferrari have
This. This is why Ferrari is king. The noise. The looks. The power. The passion. Those are characteristics that Ferrari has always been known for and LaFerrari is no exception. I love all types of exotic cars, but LaFerrari has definitely put Ferrari on top of all other exotic car companies. I wouldn't care if a Bugatti Veyron, Venom GT, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, or any other car beat it in a race. LaFerrari looks better, sounds better, and is simply better in almost every way. The people who bought this car are the luckiest people in the entire world. If I owned a Ferrari, I would own the 458 and LaFerrari. Both are beautiful cars and both have amazing characteristics. LaFerrari is undoubtedly one of the best cars ever made!
yea i agree with u too but soon im get this laferrari and the 458
but i went on google theres like 499 in the world thats why u dont see alot of people driving it
The P1 and 918 Spyder both are quicker and better cars
A few tenths quicker on SOME tracks, But Porsche made a modern version of GTR. 918 is heavier, with less power, and less feedback to the driver. But thanks to the cleaver AWD system it's fast.
P1 has that tiny engine turboed to an inch of it's life. Not exactly super car material. Compare it to the 6,2 NA engine of LaFerrari and P1 loses already when you start both cars. It also has a huge surf board size wing and has to be lowered to an inch above tarmac in race mode to be a few tenths quicker than LaF. I guess Mclaren regrets that race mode as it clearly shows Ferrari's superiority.
Jordan M Laferrari has highest top speed (246mph) And has the fastest 0-217 time
Windscreen wiper = Italian build quality. He he.
They work, just not when you want them to lol.
So much better than its competitors! A masterpiece!
I'm American and I absolutely love British car reviews, they are the best. They are just so much more real and passionate about the driving experience and give great feedback. American reviews are like listening to robots bitch and complain about a lack of cup holders, interior colors or some electronic crap that I don't give a flying fuck about.
I love how Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari all managed to come up with the same hybrid hypercar idea yet all go in distinctly different directions. The other two have seemed to go for a more genuine hybrid experience (plug-in charging, all electric mode, multiple electric motors and electric AWD in Porsche's case etc.) Ferrari has opted to use hybrid power purely for added power. I find it amazing they are not even acknowledging that this is the most powerful naturally aspirated engine. It's a good mixture of old style 'no replacement for displacement' and new technology. It returns rather rubbish fuel economy numbers but (as I'm sure many of you reading will say) who cares.
Congrats Steve and Autocar! One of your best reviews with one of the best cars ever made! amazing car,great sound!
You don't know HOW LONG I waited for this test drive! :)
Veyron SS, McLaren P1, Porsche 918, LaFerrari and Koenigsegg One:1 track test needs to happen. Get together with Evo, Motor Trend, Drive and Top Gear and make it happen!!!
One of the best LaFerrari's video on youtube
Now give it to Chris Harris.
He has a review up on Road and Track, but his video review (which should be epic) is coming up soon on /Drive. Why not now? Simple... Harris and the Drive team are taking some time to make prepare master-piece and not just post a video lacking any preparation beforehand, just putting in some standard shots we see in every review and call it a day like AutoCar (and most car reviewers) does. Not saying Autocar or Steve are bad, they're just not as good sometimes (most of the time... well all the time). Cheers
VirusTornado He's actually not allowed to post the video yet, as confirmed by him.
Stop making up things, pretending you know things.
Malc180s I'll hold back for a second and listen to what you have to say... why can't he post the video yet? enlighten me
Malc180s Don't want to be a buzzkill, but if you're gonna refer to the embargo Ferrari imposed on everyone, the one that says they can't upload LaFerrari reviews before 11PM, then don't because the time has passed. Also, if you want to tell me that Ferrari don't let CH to review their cars, well not any longer because that has been resolved, they even gave him an F12 to review with a few sets of tires to go through. What's your argument again?
VirusTornado I'm not arguing, I'm merely repeating what Harris wrote.
Can't wait to see a shootout with the LaFerrari vs the P1, and 918 Spyder
Such a tough call. This car seems like a ballistic missile though.
Joe B well laferrari has about 50hp more and it is about 200kg lighter, that should do for a better acceleration n shorter stoping distance n therefore faster corners
Mediabike Sardegna The P1 has significantly more down force though. about double If I recall. Not certain which will be faster, but I'm guessing the P1.
supersubes That 600kg downforce figure for the P1 can only happen in a straight line at its top speed, therefore cannot happen on a track! The 918 is the fastest out of a corner with AWD and almost 300lb/ft more torque than its competitors.
The Chris Harris vid said the 600k figure is at 150 mph if I recall. Did they mention at what speed the laFerrari made it's 300Kg, I don't remember if they did. Also of note, the P1 has a much lower ride height, which means the splitter and diffuser will be much more effective that any under tray treatment to the Ferrari. Just at a glance, the P1 would seem to have much more downforce. Regarding the Porsche, just because you add awd, doesn't mean you are fastest out of a corner. you must take into account that the p1 will be faster mid-corner, and due to greater downforce. The faster the corner the larger that mid-corner speed gap. Imagine all three of these cars going around Spa? There are three slow corners, even If we just say the Porsche will kill everything out of those corners, they are slow corners, and mean little in the lap time. The higher downforce pf the P1 will allow it to go faster everywhere else, and that's a long track. The awd will do nothing for the Porsche in Eau Rouge. I like all these cars, but we will probably never see an apples to apples comparison with all of them to get an idea of their relative speeds. Cheers
Congratulations guys, great job! I must admit, after the horrible P1 review I was afraid you'd mess this up but you didn't. This was absolutely great! Stunning car!
Such a pleasure to watch Autocar, and great job Steve! Looking forward to your sincere response to the question everyone is asking. Thanks again for an amazing video! Anyone else ready for a P1 vs. 918 vs LaFerrari video?
You lucky son of a car manufacturer!
"And a lot of windscreen wiper aswell!" Lol
Deep respect to Ferrari for making the LeFerrari, the sound and looks this car have in real life is just amazing.
The emotions that Steve was experiencing in the beginning gave me goosebumps! Well done, mate!
Thanks for an awesome review, Steve -- so down to earth and authentic, as usual.
The P1's reign is over. That was sweet.
Did you see Chris Harris at the track?
lolol i was just thinking that to my self !!
It's almost as though they are trying to make this video to look like Chris Harris's videos...
He has to buy even more Ferraris, than 3....
He's banned from reviewing Ferrari press cars
Thank you Steve for this lovely review, you really made it up for the P1 review. Thanks autocar. Looking forward to the big test. I love all the hypercars, i love diversity
The edits on this vid are dope asf with all the slow mo and stuff
Jesus 1/499 limited edition.Let the battle of famous rich bastards begins.
aha dakle gajbi si, doci cu za 20 min.naf
xD
Ferrari will pick who can own one doesn't matter how rich you are
It doesnt matter,they are still rich :p
I can't wait for Jeremy Clarkson review of this car LOL
The emotion with which he gave this review it is clear that this is the bench mark. WHAT a MACHINE!!!
Windshield wiper going crazy already.
Italian build quality :D
The Ferrari wins because it's RWD V12 and sounds INSANE. Just watch Steve in this video vs the porsche & mclaren. You can see it on his face.
In his last P1 video, I guess he changed his tune. Proclaimed P1 best ever made slightly. His was not total clear when saying about P1 but I think he prefers it to the 918 and LaFerrari. I think it is more how Mclaren allowed him total 3 day access with it. Not sure if Ferrari will do that.
la ferrari, not just a machine, he have a soul
Ja , enough now with this sunday-school-teacher car , and review the REGERA ,love to hear Steve's review ! ! !
Great video Steve, i like the way your not afraid to express your emotion while driving this LaFerrari, it gives us a feeling of what it must be like to drive these supercars.
That sound!!! The turbo P1 sound is not even close to this sexiness. And the looks... Ahhhhh. Yeah, once again, Maranello on the front. Hands down
They should only sell these cars to people who are passionate about racing and cars, not to any rich guy who can afford it. I hate seeing pictures of dumb idiots who drive to show off their cars and then end up crashing them.
Well its not like I like a rich idiot to waste away the miles of a perfectly good Ferrari, but it is their money so they do have the freedom to do whatever they want.
Even if you're rich, you gotta have passion for racing and cars if you fulfil Ferrari's requirements *and* are willing to drop this kind of cash on a sportscar. This is not a Veyron, it's a Ferrari flagship. I beg to differ in your judgment.
They have already been sold to people the CEO knows on a first name basis and they have to own 5 ferrari's already.
But that's exactly the type of crowd that Ferrari sells to.
EXACTLY!
Steve's very first words explains why LaF is better than the other 2. Just sitting in a Ferrari is an occasion and makes you full of anticipations so you shake a bit inside as he said. You know there is world leading tech behind you in the form of worlds most powerful NA engine (just like 458 and Speciale) and not just another small heavily turbo charged engine. A real and racy engine that makes your inside vibrate which you both love and also scares you a bit. Aerodynamics worthy of a modern sports car and not extreme aerodynamic (worthy a C-class Le Mond race car). If you think LaF looks strange with too many lines try P1 in any other color than black. No coincidence the demo car was all black. Also LaF showed to be at least as comfy as P1 on bad roads, something Mclaren was mentioning time and time again about their car.
Conclusion: LaF is a masterpiece that is easy to drive at the limit with a real engine and modern aero. While P1 has it's merits (mostly as a race car) it has once again shown to be a few steps behind Ferrari in making desirable sports cars.
He does like the LaF but prefers P1 as proclaimed greatest car ever N last review.Many say because he is British.
The P1 is very old school N tech with TT engine. They don't even have DI; instead allow fuel 2 over run off boost and throttle 2 cool engine and turbos.
The LaF is somewhat old school also. Other then DI, just bored and stroked V12 from the Enzo. The intake manifold is from old F1 cars. Cam phasing lift and valve control from Honda's Vtech systems. Most sport/hyper cars have this old Honda tech.
The KERS is from the F1 car but is slightly upgraded with 2 E-motors.
This V12 will need more tech 2 stay around. The 458 V8 engine is going out 4 TT small V8. The P1 does have stop/start at idle. This Ferrari does not have it. A Hybrid mode is being looked into I hear but other options will be needed also on next Hypercar.
LaF does look far more friendlier at limit. P1 is just more of a GT3 racecar frankly.It is a F1 and LM in 1 car NMO. A tire down grade could cure the ride some on street but not much.
Which 1 2 own is on preference. Both have positives and negatives.
bezor Ta
Ferrari tuned the car...
noskis123
lol, we heard you the first time. Sure they did, sure.
bezor Ta
I love this car! Don't wanna hate but you can clearly see it's two different cars. 14146 for the track.
14145 for the road.
noskis123
Do you know how many journalist were there? It wouldn't be strange if they had 2 cars and half of the journalists drove on the roads while at the same time the other half drove on the track. Otherwise it would take days and days before everybody would get that many hours on the roads. Obviously they all got a few good hours.
Sutcliffe, I do like your reviews more and more. There is some honesty in your words and expressions that I find hyper-pleasant as in hyper-cars und true. Nice review, very nice indeed.
whoa.... that was a great video, and A LOT of tire smoke!
I want to see some numbers at a track
EVO also said it feels like a more insane 458.
Can't understand anyone that thinks the P1 is better looking than this
Kings mario Same
Steve is the second car reviewer so far who has said this car feels like a Ferrari 458 on steroids, which is a huge compliment for Ferrari, since the Ferrari 458 is a masterpiece to begin with. I applaud Ferrari for not giving this car an all electric option like the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918, since who in their right mind would want to drive a supercar without experiencing the engine noise?? Thats like watching an action movie without the sound. Totally rediculious!
I recall reading as a teenager an article in a car magazine back in around 86 about a twin Turbo Ferrari Testarossa tuned by Koenig to 800 hp (remember this was before cars were computerized) and I remember the reviewer saying that it was incredibly hard to handle the car with all that horsepower. But today thanks to computers one can take a 950 hp LaFerrari and make it dance like a Ballerina around a track. Awesome! We are truly living in the golden age of supercars.
The seats of the LaFerrari and P1 are so low to the ground that is must be a challenge to get in and out of these car. Your wife / girlfriend is not going to appreciate getting into the seat if she is wearing a mini LOL.
I'm might be carried away, but this could be the greatest hyper car of all time. it will surely give a P1 a run for its money.
I hope there will be a LaFerrari derivate in the 24h of Le Mans in the next years!
I love Ferrari just like the rest and think the best ones were the F40 and 599xx. As for the Nurburgring times, i think the P1 would have and edge because of all this talk about "massive" downforce the wing generates. I cant wait for both lap times though.
Ps. leave my civic alone.
Best comment on here, lol.
never seen sutcliffe so nervous before. legend of cars this is
I recorded a La Ferrari in London on my channel and seriously, the thing is exquisite, its possibly the most beautiful supercar ever!
p1 vs 918 vs laferrari please!
Personal feelings and preferences of everyone aside, the P1, 918, and LaFerrari are in a league of their own. No production car is faster than them. Appreciate the technology and pure beastness of them. TOP SPEED MEANS NOTHING FYI your car can go 260, big fucking woop. Theres like 2 places in the world where you can get to that speed.
one 77?
Diveek Jain Can't even compare.
I believe the Hennesy Venom is the fastest
Captain Marvel, well the One-77 does have Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve Dampers, straight out of F1 so...
Brilliant job! Made the hairs on my arms stick up! Just one thing there looks like a ton of body roll!
That motor looks sooooo rev happy! Thank you for this video. Gave me goosebumps.
Well, it's finally here. The acceleration looks far beyond mind-blowing
window wipers going of all the time isn't a good sign if that's the car they give the journalist..wonder how many will catch fire lol..nice car though that's no doubt
very few of laferrari will catch on fire: they are no british (e.g. caparo), nor german (e.g. 991gt3) cars...
12zaf1 what about the burning gallardo then?
could be a setting he had on which he didn't realize how to turn off. Maybe it has a rain/speed setting which increases the wipers with speed.
12zaf1 Are you trying to say that italian cars are reliable? hahahahahaha
Hok
certainly not. i am just saying ferraris are much more reliable than any british made car, more reliable than porsches, lamborghinis...
Great review - like always
Northern New Mexico is a great venue for good roads, challenging, and beautiful! IE The Turquoise Trail, The windy roads through Pilar NM along the Rio Grande headed to Toas, and from Cimmaron headed towards Eagle Lake
I must say I didn't like the looks of this car at first, but now I find it quite beautiful.. Still there's something about the back of it that does not match.
It only seems fitting that Ferrari, arguably the most iconic automotive brand the world over, would build this car to preserve their reign at the top of the super car hierarchy. This car is deserving of all the compliments and praise that this reviewer is lavishing on it.
I think, without question, that this car is better than the P1 in almost every facet. Perhaps it won't beat the P1 on the track, but the LaFerrari possesses an intangible level of excitement that the P1 can never match.
Ferrari didn't do themselves any favours with the 458 styling, apart from selling thousands. It is proving hard to top
Close to 10 years old and looks better than many current ferrari's ❤️
Sounds way better too!
For the first time, current road cars sound better than current F1 cars.
Best hypercar ever. Bravo!
Great review. Steve's child like enthusiasm shines through for the subject matter.
I'm just glad V12 super cars are still being built as the market for power in this bracket seems to be consolidating into the V8 forced induction helm. Not a bad thing by most measures, but V12s are inherently special.
For me the best hypercar right now, Mr. Sutcliffe is backing me up with his expressions when he drives the La"Art". Everytime I see or watch something about this car, I fall in love more
Top notch engineering, beautiful exhaust note...BUT is it better than the enzo??
Yes.
1.2 MILLION POUNDS.....GOD,.... THAT CAN FEED SO MANY HUNGRY PEOPLE.....OH I WISH....OH I WISH.....PEOPLE COULD JUST UNDERSTAND. NOTHING COULD GIVE YOU MORE SATISFACTION IN LIFE THAN TO HELP SOMEONE IN NEED.
AISHAIKHU You could also sell your computer too, and feed many, yet here you are. Helping others is a noble cause for sure, but don't bash others for how they choose to spend the money they have.
tipigi loved it
The sexiest car ever! It's just amazing how Ferrari can design something so awesome like the LaFerrari.
Great review Steve!
added on my amazon wishlist
ferrari the no 1 sportscar maker. for 70 years. the end
Ferrari has once again, with the introduction of this juggernaut of a car, reclaimed the top spot on the pedestal of quintessential super cars.
Steve, Luca and the gang must have had a good laugh at those wipers going. :D
You're very lucky for this opportunity. Congrats to them. Amazing car.
I had to return mine because the windshield wiper didn't really do a proper cleaning. Also, the base on the sound system sounded a tad thumpy and there wasn't an ashtray to be found. What's a guy supposed to do, flick the ashes of his Carkuto Fuente's on the floor? Give me a break!
I told Lorenzo if he fixed all the problems, I'd consider buying another; he said he understood and was quite gracious . . .
Thank you for this.Needed a break from being so serious.
This was unexpected, holy shit
Two words: ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT! Grazie mille, ***** e Autocar!
Great review Steve and an astonoshing car. Love it.
The LaFerrari wins on sound, the 918 on refinement and the P1 for all out savagery.
i´ll wait for Clarkson for a fun review and C Harris for a proper review.
Hahaha yesss
Got into one today, and cannot get this car out of my mind. I truly am in love with this machine. The greatest supercar to ever exist in world history as of today. Every thing else is an also ran.
Holy Hell that engine noise is so fucking orgasmic! I have to applaud Ferrari for putting in a Naturally aspirated V12, that's just ballsy. The sound is so wicked, and gives the car that much more character!
Absolutely amazing car in every way! This is the King of supercars. Haters can go to hell! Great job Ferrari.
I think people don't hate laferrari, it's just the perception that Ferrari has to play second fiddle. I as a fan don't wont to see Ferrari in the 2nd.
McLaren P1 looks better, sounds better and I think the power del of a turbo will always feel better. But for racing 100 laps the LaFerrari would be better.
That's what is going to happen when pininferina is not involved In the design.
Definitely doesn't sound better and how is turbo lag better power delivery?
halabi97 theres none in the p1
The p1 has turbo lag. The electric motor does the torque while the turbos spool. Check out the Chris haris talk with mclaern test driver. It's on DRIVE.
are you kidding me ? p1 sounds better ? and turbo lag would be better ? in which world are you ? and however the looks of both are very good !!
That speedo just climbs so fast it's a blur. Incredible.
The windscreen wiper going mental when you go fast must be a clever way of creating some turbulence to channel more air to the cooling and intake ducts on the sides and rear quarter panels. :D
Hey did you guys get fined by Ferrari 69,000 euro or something? Steve you got balls man!
Why can't you people just seat and watch this masterpiece? It doesn't matter if holding your beer you'd buy a Lambo, this is a piece of art. Respect it in silence.
Best LaFerrari review (and video) on the web!
very nice video.. this car is such a masterpiece and truely defines what a race car is
Omg listen to that engine, fuck the P1.
Yeah... I'm one of those who just can't seem to fall in love with the Laferrari's design. At this sort of hypercar performance, I don't think it really matters what you choose; 918, LaF, or P1. So it's all about what you like to look at. I'm personally leaning towards P1. But why do I bother? Even if I win the lottery tomorrow, they're all sold, so I can't have one.
Some Arab gentleman would gladly sell you their P1 for a large crate of gold.
If they're at a point where can afford a P1 without blinking, not sure if they care about a large crate of gold.
It's all about the sales pitch my boy. "This is exceptionally Rare gold from a meteorite billions of years old. None of your fellow wealthy elite will have one" etc, etc. Hook, line...
Jean Dugas Exactly. All they care about are items for brag rights. They could not care less about large crate of plain gold or cash. But I suppose if I can present some one of a kind item worth more to the P1 owner, I suppose there's always a chance for a trade. Just can't "purchase" one.
***** I'm Korean.
Not a Ferrari fan boy, but what a beautiful automobile.
fantastick , Stive..congrats !
