They are NOT 2 years away on the external design of the car .
I rarely write things like this this but every time I do it is first hand and I am never wrong .like the p1 , its interior ( even down to the buttons on the wheel ) the 918 details , 4.0 gt3rs etc etc .
The mini Mac design has been seen gentlemen . I'm not commenting on for sale date because I have no knowledge or interest in this event

Alex doesn't care - he only knows how to cut & paste links.
Resizing images as a courtesy to other forum members is beyond his mental grasp. I've reported the post - hopefully a moderator will get to it soon as Alex didn't even care to self-edit when I called him on it either, and now it's too late.

Loving that pic of the blue in the back of the car . Am concerned about cooling however as I know how much effort , time and expense Porsche put into theirs . Guaranteed full power in all conditions at all times is no joke . The 918 has had every reliability , temperature etc etc test that the Boxster has .
Also concerned about the Tyres , last time I was there they hadn't decided on Tyres yet when Porsche had been working with a a manufacturer for two years .

Great new info Eric! Most exciting update in a while.

So, does anyone think this will weigh less than the rumored 2799lbs that the Ferrari is supposed to weigh?

I think you have nothing to fear, but it should be close though. Ferrari's idea of integrating the seats directly into their chassis structure is a good one as seats have to be strong enough to hold up in a crash, and thus they end up being pretty good boat anchors too.

Yeah, I just took the number from the Ferrari thread. I guess they're just rumors coming from the private showings, and it does seem unlikely. I'm still not completely sold on the 950hp part either. I'm thinking maybe a little less. Either way, I'm still confident the P1 will be faster.

You're concerned that Mclaren, the pinnacle of the car world, hasn't done enough for cooling because Porsche publicized how long it took them? Same with the tires, it's not like they are just going to call tire rack when it's time to produce these bad boys. When has mclaren ever failed at the basics?

I like to get things from the horses mouth not a publicist .
