Surprised so many are voting for the 918. I do love it's appearance, but wouldn't want the hybrid system.

So for me it's Huayra, no question. A true hand built masterpiece that will drop jaws, retain its value and reward the driver with an experience that few cars could hope to.

Fully agree, the only thing that speaks for me more for the 918 is the design...but the Pagani is more a raw supercar, like it needs to be.

If you want to look at your car, get the 918..if driving experience is the one, then the Pagani.

Has anyone here actually driven the 918 (or the pagani for that matter) to see how the hybrid system affects the experience? Everyone I've heard that has driven one, loved it and had nothing bad to say.

...Exactly my thoughts.
The 918 is yet to be finished, the car is still under development but incredibly impressive as is. When you ride in the 918, you would not be able to tell it weighs as much as it does in any way (That's the porsche intelligence).
What is the point of complaining about what the car tip on scale if it really makes no compromise, or affect the dynamics in any way negative.
That being said, the Huayra's craftsmanship is still second to none, and that makes this incredibly difficult.

Your kidding right.. to call a Pagani a "kit car" you must be delusional.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder .. I think the OP likes both obviously.

No doubt. But the OP is asking for opinions on what to buy and since I have driven neither that's all I have to go on to form my opinion.
