After having a peek at the P1, I'm willing to bet it's the most aerodynamically advanced production (concept) car extant.

Yes..agree to a certain, large extent. Nonetheless, the 918 looks much better..but I dont like its concept..basically, what I want is a 918 design..withe the engine etc from the Mclaren.

It may be that its design is completely determined by its aero specs..but..the Mclare F1 certainly looks better..this one is a bit disappointing in design terms..but Im sure it will teach the 918 hybrid crap a lesson..if that is what its supposed to do ..then - well done Mclaren The car is also quite small it seems..another fundemental difference with the 918..it makes sense..the smaller the car..usually means less weight..less aero disturbances..

It was there, now it's gone. I think someone realized a bit late that it was a bad idea to be advertising the exact location of the car.
