So the LaFerrari is better for straight line accelleration, the 918 for laptimes and the P1 for nothing.

Can't believe these cars are nearly 10 years old... 😭
The early 2010s were a pretty cool time to be a car enthusiast.

Laferrari 0-100 37 meters....you ****ing kidding? I can do better with my e-class

Nobody:

Absolutely nobody:

Me: This comparison is how it all started out. 10 years later, the LaFerrari naturally moves upscale to compete with the Speedtail, Regera, and Valkyrie. The 918 naturally gets demoted to SF90, Gemera, and Valhalla territory. The P1 really slots between a 296 and an AMG ONE in overall performance, albeit closer to 296 territory in main characteristics.

These three cars have basically split up their partnership.

I really love all three of these cars, however, I feel the Porsche 918 is rather overshadowed by the 911 GT2 RS and I would rather have that. The Laferrari and P1 are both equally as fast, but the P1 is more of a weapon than the Laferrari and a bit sharper in my opinion. I would prefer the P1, but only by a tiny margin.

Here we have yet another example of why taking lap times at face value perpetuates ignorance. Let's look at Portimao lap times for the 918, P1 and LaFerrari shall we? Monkey completed a lap in the 918 Spyder recording 1:53.98 on Cup2's. Ferrari wanted the P1 to use the same rubber as they were using ie. PZero Corsa's so that's what they got. The lap time Harris set in the P1 on the Corsa's was 1:53.57 whereas he got 1:54.25 in the La Ferrari. He then put the TrofeoR's on the P1 and got 1:51.78. So anyone looking at the differences in lap times with this comparison based on face value would immediately jump to the conclusion that the P1 was considerably faster which it is NOT. Facts matter and as for the acceleration figures, well let's just say they're extracted from more motor mags and are absolute nonsense lol

I think the 918 is fastest off the line and the most daily drivable of the three, but the P1 is the best on track and ties the LaFerrrai with acceleration, but has a higher trap speed in the 1/4 mile, as well as the same time (LaFerrari's fastest recorded time was 9.8).

Think that 15.0 sec 0-300km/h is making the LaFerrari the apparent fastest here. I expect them to be all close with points

The price of Turbo S is really near a 488 price, both a 230-240K € in Europe. GT3 RS is diferent because not sold, you can find a second hand GT3 Rs for 300K €

That is not what i am saying saxy.... He said the 3 cars are "best in their own segment" So I said the ACR and The 675 LT which are base more for track like the GT3 RS will beat the GT3 RS any day on track....So i disagree with him like chanante said. That is all i am saying. I am not talking about the overall of the car( comfort, durability,cost) Just performance on track for the ACR, 675 and GT3 RS.

Are you saying it costs more to buy a Porsche GT3 RS than it is to buy a 675 LT where you live?

Price depends on where you live also. So what might be cheaper for you might not be for me...

Well that is something i wanted to ask him too. Is he talking about performance only and not cost? or comfort? durability? Or overall? The 918 overheated again against the Rimac... so what are we talking about? I was talking about performance only and not price or comfort.

You mean the 675lt which is twice the price of a 911 turbo/GT3 RS is faster?

While the others you mentioned cost from 60-100k more than the Turbo S...

The only European supercars in the Porsche price range and competitive is the R8 plus and 570S. The 570S costs actually more but it's a hell of a package, 625+hp, carbon tub.

The Z06... on any given day it might be slower than the grand sport given its heating issues.

I might agree with you on the 918 but it overheated again going against the Rimac.... so there is still work to do.

GT3 RS will get beat around the track by the viper acr or the 675 Lt ALL DAY.... 991 turbo again you have 650s, 488, Huracan, that will give it a good fight.

918 is a great super car but the others are great same. LaFerrari is very near in times with a corsa tyres (much slower than cup 2) and sorry, GT3 RS is very interesting racing car but a 488 distroy it and turbo S. Turbo S isnt fast as 650S, 570S or 488.
