Both cars have no ring time, these two should come with a sticker that reads POSER ONBOARD!

For years I've been deluding myself into believing the LaFerrari was the fastest of the three (and in some cases a very early Speedtail competitor). But in reality, it's just an overrated V12 (and I don't mean that in a bad way). In terms of performance, there is quite an overlap with this car, the SF90 Stradale, the 296 GTB, and in some cases the 488 Pista (and possibly even the F12tdf / 812 Competizione). McLaren's competitor to the LaFerrari is much lighter, actually much more powerful than claimed (916x1.1=1008PS), and started the entire brand's trend in underrating its cars (especially with the 720S). The 720S still has overlap with the P1, but only in straight-line performance, and on equal tires, the P1 will still leave it to dust around race tracks that aren't a drag strip.

The LaFerrari doesn’t actually get to 186mph in 15 seconds. More like 16-18 seconds

I don't believe it.
McLaren is a superior vehicle

por-shee can't afford to play with the big boys, because their hybrid system is too weak and loses half of its performance when the battery dies

I suspect the McLaren has a little less lateral g maybe 1.11-12 versus 1.16.

I guess the Grand Tour laps are too showbiz...and they'd anger McLaren fans. Lotus and Aston make the odd High performance track car but McLaren is the only English company with a serious lineup from top to bottom.

The Laferrari dont change the gear at 9000rpm. P1 have the maximum power at 7800-8000 and LaFerrari have tha maximum power in 9000-9300rpm.

For god's sake,don't add Assetto corsa lap time for comparision,we are all aware that P1,Laferrari are too fast in that game.As a sim it is one of the best but we can't compare it with real life.

0-150mph was tested at Fiorano? which is a -1.4% which over 10 seconds easily accounts for several kph. Pretty sure the P1 has it beat in a straight line even if the P1 has thinner tires.

I'm glad these laptimes exist because while they may not be the best times, as far as everyone is concerned ferrari is the slowest of the 918, p1, and laferrari and it makes them look bad. hopefully they'll smarten up, but they probably won't :/
