Frankly, I don't see this car being slower than much of anything in the near future...

Jay Leno just took delivery of his in the states.

I forgot he also owns all of the most recent McLarens...
Also just noticed, the McLaren does not have center locking rims like Porsche does- it's a lot easier to change tires that way.
A bit of a side note- he loves Italian cars but he doesn't seem to own any Ferraris. I wonder why that is. He has Lamborghinis and owns a few Maseratis, but just doesn't seem to own a Ferrari.

Some sort of tryst with a Ferrari dealer that's he's still sour from prevents him from buying them, I think. It's a shame, because, as the consummate car guy, Leno would get good ones.
"Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
"No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"
I agree, he seems to be the most indiscriminate car fanatic- he literally loves everything car and motorcycle related- Tatra, Chevy, Ford, GM, Honda and Maserati- you name any significant marque, he'll have it. Except Ferrari.
Heck, his whole garage is a good running timeline of automotive history.
Too bad, Ferrari could have had a lot of free publicity.
My only regret is that his earlier garage episodes were shot for pre HD quality YouTube.
Perhaps. They're the only wild card now.
I think LaFerrari might, but McLaren seems to have a hell of a launch control.....The way they can make a 2WD car hook up on relatively modest tires with that much power is unreal...

If there is a wagging contest at the Nurburgring, I'd give the LaFerrari the nod over T'McLaren, ahead of DiePorsche.
I would sell any body part for a P1.
