Thanks for the wonderful post. I won't get a chance to test drive until end of the month.
Can you please share your thoughts on the 918 in comparison to the Huayra in regards to beauty, build quality etc. I personally have no interest in P1 or LF
Did you hear anything about output moving up to 918hp on production cars, and ring time of under 7.. ??
I think the wonderful thing is that this car has the potential to even perform better with age, as battery technology improves weight can be reduced... in my opinion that is amazing.
Cheers!

I like Pagani but do not think they are currently able to engineer a car as well as Porsche or Ferrari . Yes the carbon is a work of art but put a Hauyrghh next to a LAf or 918 and I think they are a class above . I may be the wrong person to ask to be fair my opinion is not that high of companies like Koenniggseggsegsge et al .
You will love the quality of the 918 , that much is assured . It seems made out of moondust and pixiejuice sprinkled with rainbows and chocolate .
It really is a work of art .

Thank you for the response.
I can't wait for the test drive
Any truth to the rumored 2+2 918 ? I would hate for porsche to do that, but I can't see that happening.
Cheers!

There will certainly be a mid engined car sitting above the 911 range though .

This is a fantastic review and could show some of the motoring magazines a thing or two.
Interesting to hear your thoughts vs CGT.
I worked for Porsche for 4 years and took an order for a 918 from an existing CGT owner and he is saying the same things ref noise and feel. He is also from the uk so not sure if you know him. He also said the braking is the one thing he said was in a different leauge to anything he has driven.
I now work for another brand but this car is simply the most phenomenal piece of engineering.
A huge thanks for such a great review.
What spec are you going for?

So, this might be a very personal question which you don't have to answer:
Are you thinking about getting one?
If so (and in general) which spec would be your choice? How do you think about the Weissach package? Is it worth it?
