Wow almost identical times to 160mph. And the P1 is faster than the 918 and LaFerrari. People should be comparing the 720S to the LaFerrari - acceleration is matched, and both have butterfly doors, carbon fiber cage, and similar basic design save for the concealed side air intakes on the McLaren. The British and Italian personalities are quite different but the end result is not dissimilar.

Except the 720s is 1/5th of the price of the LaFerrari, and probably faster.
Overall a much more sophisticated and innovative design
