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.

This car next to a P1 looks like Cheburashka next to a xenomorph.
Very cool and important aspect about the emissions though! 👍

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)

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.

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? 🤨

P1 would beat it because it is closer to the ground
