I was hoping the factory car would have the air vents in front of the front wheels in the bumper. Like in the patent drawings

It probably will, as almost all of the P1 XP prototypes have been seen running around with the air vents present. Design Director Frank Stephenson also confirmed that they'll be present on the production P1.

Thanks for the info, looking forward to it.

Done some math myself:

25 FPS
Frame 761 - 0 mph
Frame 789 - 61 km/h
Frame 808 - 84 km/h
0-61 km/h - 28 frames = 1,12 s
0-84 km/h - 47 frames = 1,88 s

I'm a little disappointed that the display unit is so simple. If you compare that to say the LF-A and the Aventador it's quite boring and outdated.

I should start keeping track.

It's great to be enthusiastic, but don't let your enthusiasm lead you down the wrong paths.

Very interesting. Another enthusiast told me mine was a bit off as he'd gotten between 2.2 to 2.3 seconds 0-84Km/h. And after retiming it a couple of times - now with a less shaky hand from the shockwave-like noises of P1 revving - I got an average of 2.1 seconds 0-84Km/h.

I think your calculations look more accurate though.

Regarding the gears ..

I know for a FACT there is an Automatic gearbox in the P1

Notice that the video starts at " Nm " my guesses .. gear is at Neutral in Manual mode.

The lights indicate most probably the rev limiter.

Notice this ..

Maximum Speed achieved is 61km but actually 67km but could catch it on my print screen

When the number changes from 1 to 2 in which i feel are the gears, the speed drops to 57km

Right before everything becomes blurry, the 4th gear shows up and the speed is at 84km

Arent those gears pretty short if it goes to 57 in first and 75 in second.

By comparison the huayra does 100km/h in first gear..
