As a gtr fan, I had goosebumps when he said, "…the mighty GTR…"

I remeber wathcing this debate play out between the 3 of them. While there isn’t much between them, to me there was just that little extra something with the Porsche 918 Spyder.

The p1 set the standard, this tried to compare and meet those standards

The Yas Marina track is absolutely beautiful. Its open to the public one night a week for free and you can cycle, walk or run around it! An amazing experience.

Suprisingly he didn't crash.

This car next to a P1 looks like Cheburashka next to a xenomorph.
Very cool and important aspect about the emissions though! 👍
Kerolin Subramoney
One of the best looking cars in my opinion 💯
Xavier Anthony
The car he didn't crash
Diego Flor
Hammond got the 918 because the McLaren and the Ferrari can both do 250+ meanwhile this can only do 236 so he can’t crash it (yes I know that there electronically Limited to 217 and 212)
Forza Martini
I'd take the Carrera GT over this every day of the year

This car sounds like the Ferrari 458

Yeah but the P1 fulfils every car guys dream, which is a car that you are terrified to press the accelerator on
Sergio Gee
The top speed is 214
CeeJay

The first time i saw this video, i said to myself "oh man, there is no way you can die whitout first owning this car"
Stefan Barner Rasmussen
Watching this today, I'm realising that this trifecta of hypercars was probably the pinnacle of cars, ever. Back then I was pretty amazed, but now I'm just sad because I know that after these cars, everything started going to electric. I'm not sad because they are becoming electric; I'm just sad because I know that it's the end of an era.

Best car review ever done. And the 918 is stunning.
Nicholas Grandchamp
Here we are in 2020 and this is still the most impressive car ever made. Absolutely gorgeous
PadmaNaidu Payavula

Justa Gamer

That's how you use hybrid technology
James Neave
OK, what's going on with the blue flame looking glow out of the exhaust?
Is that VFX added by The Producers?
Or is there actually flammable gases escaping via the exhaust? 🤨
Andrew Paswaters
P1 would beat it because it is closer to the ground
