What a Masterpiece!
The steering wheel itself is one of the most beautiful steering wheels I've ever seen.
The question is, if the P1 or the F150 will set the new standards for Hypercars? Porsches 918 can't go along, you just can't compensate the 1700kg with Power.
If the P1 is as fast as the Zonda R, which I can't believe till I see it, then the N'ring time will be far under 7min, which is insane for a road car. But I don't think it will beat the 6'47. The Zonda R is about 330kg lighter(if the 1400kg from the P1 are true), maybe the P1 is as fast or faster on TopGear cause the track is short, but on the N'ring never.
Does the Zonda R set a Top Gear time, in-official of course?
Can't wait to see Chris Harris in the P1.
Too Bad the P1 is limited, I hope they'll bring up another more extreme version(this sounds ridiculous at this point i know
)with more Horspepower and less weight.

"We’ve also heard an official designation of P1TM. Does this mean we will see an HS or LM version in our future? All signs point to yes."

The P1 would also be great to compete with Ferrari at LeMans. Just don't know what are the standings with the LM "plans" at this point. Here and there they've talked about it a bit, years ago.
Maybe some insider has more informations?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Heck, I don't even consider the F1 to be "pretty", but it's still one of my favorite cars.
