Again the video was focused on the 918 not LaFerrari or P1.

      Actually I think it's ultra lame to put into a supercar functions that any cheap smartphone can do, like this console Hamster was so jolly about.
      A supercar should be like Ferrari F40; built just for track times and only. Nothing that doesn't serve the sole purpose should be onboard. Otherwise it's not a real sportscar anymore, it's a cock enhancer for rich impotents who choose gold diggers over prostitutes because they're deluded enough to think it's more elegant.

      The acceleration is godly too.
      Porsche quote 0-60mph at 2.6sec.
      But the quickest time recorded so far is actually 2.2sec from 0-60mph, which makes it the fastest accelerating production car in the world besides it's record Nurburgring time.
      It's covered the 1/4 mile in 9.8sec, which I think is another production car record, isn't it?

      The p1 is just better than the 918, and probably even the zonda

    The Porsche 918 for me:
    Quicker launch, a launch as fast as the Veyron, Koeniggsegg One.
    200 more torque than the P1 giving a faster launch from a corner.
    Top Speed of 345km/h, but cars can go faster than their top speeds.
    Elegance
    Luxury
    Alot more practical and futuristic but simple than the P1 and LaFerrari
    Can go close to 20 kms just on electric mode, nearly 3 times more than the P1
    More eco-friendly than some Holden or Honda electric car that was named in this video.
    Most practical, best looking car.
    Sounds like music.
    Technologically advanced.
    Also capable to be used in your everyday lives.
    Sadly, the 918 and the other 2 hypercars are illegal here in Australia.

      The P1 will age slower though, and it is also more simple than the seriousness of the 918
