They are not being quite so obvious as you would imagine so you are making an incorrect assumption. To say "in excess of 111 mph" could imply anything better. It doesn't mean just that or just some small percentage better that. It could even mean in excess of 115 mph or...

Should we divide the length of the track by 115 mph? Also, as the local resident guru for anything McLaren, why are they not disclosing the time? Is it suspense or are we never going to see the time?

I like that they left a question out there. The 918 seems to be evolving some how. It's numbers seem to improve weekly. I'm sure the Ferrari will do the same thing. It doesn't make sense for anyone to lay a hard number down. The next company will just adjust the tune, pull out some weight or use NASA compounds in the tires. McLaren has never really established a time for the 12C. I think the only number is from 2010 before the upgrade. In fact if I remember correctly it was suspiciously exact to the 458. I would like to see a race series with cars certified as stock driven on a sample of 3-4 tracks. That would be interesting.

Does anyone actually think it failed to get below 7? I mean, I certainly don't see how it's even possible they could fail to do that much at least.
