Guess what, I broke the land speed record last year. Take my word for it [sic].

That is not quite what was said. What Steve Sutcliffe of AutoCar actually wrote was this:
That 'something' is an important distinction.

Fast enough to lap the Nürburgring in "considerably less than seven minutes" says McLaren, although even at this stage of the car's life, Woking still won't say what the car's official Nordschleife time is.
According to the rumour mill that is the internet the number of 6min 47sec keeps cropping up. But according to a McLaren insider I spoke to who knows rather more about the P1's capabilities than any armchair expert ever could, the actual time is "a fair bit quicker than that." As in six minutes 30 something. Either way, the P1 is, until Ferrari unleashes the LaFerrari at the Green Hell, king of the 'Ring. For the time being.

On a side note, sorry to
but does anyone have a diagram of the car in respect to where all the vents, ducts & scoops go? More specifically, where does the scoop on the roof and doors lead to?Thanks...
