'McLaren's P1 And Ferrari's LaFerrari: BATTLE OF THE SUPERCARS!'


McLaren's P1 And Ferrari's LaFerrari: BATTLE OF THE SUPERCARS!


Business Insider

mclaren p1 and ferrari laferrari

The McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari are two of the superbaddest supercars in the supercar world.
Business Insider checked out the McLaren last year in New York. We're still waiting to get an up-close with the LeFerrari, successor to the Enzo and Ferrari's new flagship supercar.
Both are gorgeous. Both are hybrids. Both cost more than $1 million.
We crunched the numbers — considering power, speed, looks, and more — to find out if one is better.
[And earlier version of this post was written by Alex Davies.]

NAME: The P1 name links the car to McLaren’s legendary F1, the former fastest production car in the world.



NAME: LaFerrari is Italian for “The Ferrari.” In English or Italian, it's a bit confusing.



NAME: McLaren takes this one, easily.


McLaren P1: 1
LaFerrari: 0


HORSEPOWER: The P1 pairs a V-8 engine that delivers 727 hp with an electric motor, yielding a total of 903 hp.



HORSEPOWER: The LaFerrari is also a hybrid, combining a 6.3-liter V-12 engine with two electric motors. Total horsepower: 950.



HORSEPOWER: Ferrari ties it up.

McLaren P1: 1
LaFerrari: 1


TOP SPEED: The McLaren has an electronically limited top speed of 217.5 mph.



TOP SPEED: The Ferrari tops out at 217 mph.



TOP SPEED: Too close to call. We'll given them each a point.


McLaren P1: 2
LaFerrari: 2


ACCELERATION: The P1 goes from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds, and can hit 186 mph in 17.



ACCELERATION: The Ferrari's 0 to 60 mph time is also under 3 seconds, but it reaches the 186 mph mark in just 15 seconds.



ACCELERATION: Ferrari for the win.

McLaren P1: 2
LaFerrari: 3


EXTERIOR: The P1 has some beautiful styling cues, especially the fighter jet bubble windshield and nostril-like air intakes in the hood, which are reminiscent of the swooping McLaren logo.



EXTERIOR: The LaFerrari is also a gorgeous car, with rear view mirrors that look like the stalks on the Pagani Huayra.



EXTERIOR: This is a close (and subjective) call, but we give it to the P1.

McLaren P1: 3
LaFerrari: 3


WITH THE DOORS UP: In a classic pose for any car with scissor or gullwing doors, the P1 cuts an impressive figure.



WITH THE DOORS UP: But this view of the Ferrari gives us shivers.



WITH THE DOORS UP: An easy point for the LaFerrari.


McLaren P1: 3
LaFerrari: 4


INTERIOR: For extraordinarily complex cars, both have impressively simple interiors. The P1 continues the fighter jet theme with a glass canopy overhead. To save weight, there’s no sound deadening, but customers will want to hear all 903 horses.



INTERIOR: The LaFerrari’s interior is similarly minimalistic. We like the unorthodox, three-button (Launch, R, Auto) gear shifter, big shifter paddles, and simple controls. But we dock points for the almost square steering wheel.



INTERIOR: We give this one to the P1.

McLaren P1: 4
LaFerrari: 4


PRICE: McLaren has put the P1 price tag at $1.2 million.



PRICE: The LaFerrari is $1.4 million.



PRICE: Ferrari edges ahead.


McLaren P1: 4
LaFerrari: 5


AVAILABILITY: McLaren will make just 375 P1's.



AVAILABILITY: Ferrari's run is also very limited: Only 499 LaFerrari's will roll off the line.



AVAILABILITY: The fewer the cars in a limited run, the more valuable each one is. McLaren takes the final category.


McLaren P1: 5
LaFerrari: 5


And the winner is...


The LaFerrari is a beautiful car that everyone wants.
But despite being less powerful and a tad slower, McLaren's P1 is the more jaw-dropping of the two — and harder to get.

The McLaren P1 takes this one...and it's a tie at the finish line!


But that's not as far as you can go with the P1...

The $4.5 Million Lamborghini Veneno driving in California



From the video description (TheStradman):

The $4.5 Million Lamborghini Veneno driving in California

Check me out on Facebook: www.facebook.com/StradmanPhotography

See the other Lamborghini Veneno I've filmed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu-X4...

This $4.5 million dollar Lamborghini Veneno was shown at the Quail Motorsports gathering in Monterey, California. Lamborghini is producing just 4 Venenos; This one will be at the Lamborghini factory in Sant'agata Bolognese, Italy. Two of the remaining three will end up in the United States, one in Miami, Florida and one in Long Island, New York. The third one will end up in the Middle East. The two American bound Lamborghini Venenos have been delivered. The Veneno in Long Island, owned by Antoine Dominic (owner of Lamborghini Long Island) is expected to be displayed at the showroom of Lamborghini Long Island. Dominic is a long time Ferrari owner who had an F40, F50, Enzo and an MC12 prior to switching to Lamborghini. The Miami bound Veneno, owned by Kris Singh, is expected to be driven somewhat regularly. Mr. Singh is managing director of Tequesta Investments. Each of the three customer delivered Venenos is finished in a different colored accent, red, white and green. The Veneno in this video is red. This is noticeable on the front splitter and rear diffuser.

It has been announced that Lamborghini will also introduce a roadster version of the Veneno. Lamborghini will produce 9 Lamborghini Veneno Roadsters.




 

The Lamborghini Veneno was first unveiled at the Genevea Auto Show in April 2013. The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster was first photographed at a special private viewing in Beverly Hills, California in November 2013. It's official debut was on an Italian air craft carrier in Abu Dhabi. It also was shown at CES 2014, Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada in conjunction with Monster Audio, who fitted a custom $100,000 sound system in the Veneno Roadster.

The Lamborghini Veneno is a development of the Lamborghini Aventadors 6.5L V12 producing 740 HP. Veneno means venom in Spanish. Lamborghini currently produced the Aventador, the Veneno and is set to begin production of the Gallardo replacement, the Lamborghini Huracan. The Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 is set to be officially unveiled at the Geneva International Auto Show on March 4, 2014.

The Lamborghini Veneno follows in the footsteps of other extremely limited production Lamborghinis. Prior to the Veneno, Lamborghini built 20 race oriented Lamborghini Sesto Elementos, based off the Gallardo. Prior to the Sesto Elemento, Lamborghini produced the Lamborghini Reventon, of which only 20 coupes and 15 roadsters. The Reventon was sold for $2 million USD.

The Lamborghini Veneno is featured in Forza Motorsport 5 and Need for Speed.
