Since when is DNF called "performing well"? "Vee almost von the Nurburgring 24h. Almost. But vee didn't."

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

It's the price that's bothersome. We all know how Bugatti had a lot of difficulty selling all 300 Veyrons -- and that car had claim to all the superlatives of the day. It will definitely be a challenge for Porsche to sell even half as many 918's they intend to sell.

I hope it works out for Porsche though.

I would say that with the GT3R hybrid being the first of its kind and leading the entire race up until it failed is pretty good, that race is extremely hard on any car.

And afterward the drivers of the car had nothing but praises to say about the system. Does anyone know how many times they used the push to pass ability of the hybrid system? If I recall they used it mostly when coming out of corners and the system was used well over a 200 times.

Sure it might be a bit over-designed in some sectors but thats what you should get when you pay such a big amount of money, a supercar oughs to be dramatic and extreme.
And yes you cant compare the 918 spyder with the Zonda in matter of units as the number of Zondas produced is close to 160 units (in 10 years), so its close to 8 times the number of 918.

Agreed , horses for courses and all that . I was just explaining my position better .
