LaFerrari, McLaren P1 or the Porsche 918?

There has been alot of debating happening between the recent hypercars that have been launched. There are people who haven't made up their minds and some that have, well i'm going to help the people who cant decide and i'm going to give my own opinion as well.

Lets start with the looks.

I think the LaFerrari looks way more cooler and aggressive than the others because of the structure of the tail lights and the body lines are sharp but the looks of the rear don't match the front, The McLaren P1 looks comparatively less aggressive than the LaFerrari but is more aggressive than the 918. It looks very futuristic,very small and it has looks which isn't very common in cars.The 918 looks very delicate and not that great, but if you closely look at it, you will like as it has the rear wing up, exhausts on the rear deck.

Now lets see the engine and the performance

The LaFerrari has a 6.3 Lt V12 which produces a total power of 963 HP and 900 Nm of torque and it sounds incredible, The McLaren P1 has a 3.8 Lt V8 and produces a total power of 903 HP and 978 Nm of torque and the effect of the sound is heard from the inside, the Porsche 918 has a 4.6 Lt V8 which produces a total power of 887 HP and 1275 Nm of torque, since the exhaust is right behind your head, you can get the blasting sound right behind you and it sound amazing . The LaFerrari always runs on both the V12 and the electric motor so you cant switch to E- mode while driving, whereas that option is available in the McLaren P1 which is actually an advantage because if you are low on fuel you can run on the batteries which is smart but the car is not mean to really run on the batteries just like the LaFerrari, but in the 918 you are running mostly on the batteries and the combustion engine kicks in when you need extra power while driving and has more torque than the other 2.

Now lets see the features

The LaFerrari is very aerodynamic and looks very aggressive. The seats are bolted to the floor so your sitting very low and the rear spoiler comes out of a slit from the back which is good because when you are driving the roof line is low so you get a good feel when you are driving.The McLaren P1 has bucket seats which are comfortable for a long time and get different sizes. The 918 the seats are also fixed but later gets a bit uncomfortable after sometime but the steering wheel feel is nice. The wing in the McLaren P1 is amazing as it just comes out and is raised to a height of 30 cm which will give it alot of down force in sports mode and it pushes the car 5 cm down because of the downforce. The LaFerrari the wing comes out of a slit in the back to give a similar downforce effect. The 918 normally comes up right above the tail lights giving it that good look. The wheels in the McLaren P1 are nice and has a good look in many 12 spoked rims, The LaFerrari has old school looking wheels and is very traditional but the 918 have nice multi spoke wheels which looks good on the car.

My decision

The LaFerrari since the seats are very low it gives you that feel and the enjoyment you get because of that would be a very good experience. The McLaren P1 is used for sport and speed. Its like a transformer you can change it from an everyday car to an incredibly low sports car which I think is amazing in a car. The 918 is a convertible and you can put the roof panels in the bonnet when you don't require them.

performance? well the LaFerrari has a top speed of 230 mph, the P1 has a top speed of 217 mph and the 918 has a top speed of  215 mph but if you drag with these 3 cars I think P1 will be ahead then the LaFerrari sightly behind and so is the 918. But you feel that 918 is faster because of the noise behind your head.

So according to me if I would want to have fun on the track I would definitely buy the McLaren P1, if  I would want to show off  in a party and have a car for long term I would buy the LaFerrari and if I would want to use it to go out for everyday use I would go for the 918 because of the E-mode. So final decision is I WISH I COULD HAVE ALL 3 PLEASE!!!!    

Porsche 918

  

The Porsche 918 is a limited edition mid engine plug-in supercar designed by Porsche. The company planed to produce 918 units each costing $845,000. A plug-in hybrid car means that the engine utilizes rechargeable or any other storage device that can be restored by plugging it to an external power source. It is the second plug-in hybrid car from Porsche after the Panemerra S E-Hybrid. The car has a 4.6 Lt ,V 8 engine producing 608 HP and 528 Nm of torque. This is supplemented by 2 electric motors delivering an additional 279 HP, one producing 154 HP and the other one producing 125 HP and it also supplements an additional 747 Nm of torque. So in total, the produces 887 HP and 1275 Nm of torque.The batteries that run the motor are 312-cell liquid-cooled 6.8 Kw h lithium ion battery, it is charged by regenerative braking or when the car is coasting.One of the electric motors(154 HP) drives the rear wheels along with the internal combustion engine and the other motor (125 HP) drives the front axle, an electric clutch decouples the motor when not in use. The range of the batteries is 19 Km. The CO2 emissions produced by the car is 79 g/Km and the fuel consumption is 3.0 L/100 Km. It has a top speed of  340 Km/h. With a full tank and fully charged batteries the car can go a distance of 680 Km.

What I think of the physical part is the it is very aerodynamic, stylish and has a resemblance to its predecessors but with a more modern look. My favorite part of the looks is its tail lights. It has a carbon fiber reinforced plastic monocoque for giving strength to the support.

What I think of the engine is that it is Eco friendly as the petrol engine is very fuel efficient and the CO2 emission is very low which is good for the environment. You can switch it to E mode to just run on the electric motor and it gives a range of 29 Km. With that much torque it can go from 0-100 Km/h in 2.6 seconds, 0-200 Km/h in 7.2 seconds and from 0-300 Km/h in 19.9 seconds. It has more torque than A LYKAN HYPERSPORT.

LaFerrari

  

The LaFerrari (also called F150) is a limited production hypercar built by Ferrari.Only 499 units will be sold each costing $1.69 million.The cars total weight is about a 1000 Kg's which is about the same weight as the Sesto Elemento. This is Ferrari's first 'Mild Hybrid' car. A mild hybrid engine is different from a full hybrid engine. A mid hybrid engine is an internal combustion engine that is equipped with an electric motor allowing the engine to switch off when it is coasting or stopped yet restart quickly again, and they give some amount of power assist to the the internal combustion engine. Coasting is when the drive is disconnected from the wheels. The drive the power produced by the engine to turn the wheels. This happens due to the gear box being in neutral or when the clutch pedal is depressed. This engine has decreased the fuel consumption of the car by 40%. In the rear part lies the engine. The engine is 6.3 Lt, V12 with an angle configuration of 65 degrees produces 789 HP and 700 Nm of torque and the electric motor produces 174 HP and and 200 Nm of torque so the total output produced by the engine is 963 HP and 900 Nm of torque. It is connected to a 7 speed dual-clutch transmission and is an rear wheel drive. It has a CO2 output of 330 g/km. It has may electronic controls including stability, traction control and ABS in high speeds,and it also has a carbon fiber monocoque  for strong support and stability for the structure.

What I think of the physical part is that I feel it is one of the most aerodynamic and aggressive looking cars Ferrari has ever made. It is my favorite Ferrari after the F12 berlinetta. It has an aerodynamic resistance less than 3. It is designed in such a way so that there is equal weight distribution, low resistance and to lower the car's center of gravity.

What I think of the engine is that it is so powerful. It has a top speed of 350 Km/h. With that much torque it can go from 0-100 Km/h in under 3 seconds, 0-200 Km/h in under 7 seconds and 0-300 Km/h in under 15 seconds. For resting the new cars Ferrari has their own race track called Fiorano circuit. It is 2.997 Km long and has 12 turns. The LaFerrari can cover the whole track under 1:20 which is the faster than any other road-legal car Ferrari has ever made.  

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

   

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is a 2 door, 2 seater lightweight limited edition super sports car. The name Sesto Elemento( sixth element) is reference to the atomic number of carbon as the whole car is covered with carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is an extremely strong and light fiber-reinforced polymer which contains fibers made of carbon, this material is used in monocoques for automobiles because this material has properties that are lighter and strong than steel, so it provides a good support and strength to the car's structure. This car has a 5.7 Lt, V10 engine producing at power of 570 HP with 540 Nm of torque, and it also has a 6 speed semi automatic transmission with paddle shifters and its an all wheel drive. Paddle shifters are located behind the steering wheel.This car shares almost the same engine as a Lamborghini Gallardo. Since the car is completely made of carbon fiber, it makes the overall weight of the car a stunning 999 kgs. This is the lightest car that Lamborghini has ever made.


What I think of the physical looks is that its very aerodynamic and looks very different from the other Lambo cars. The part that I don't like about the looks is that since it's completely covered in carbon fiber, it looks plain and you can get it in only 2 colors and the ground clearance is about a centimeter from the ground so it can only be used on the track. I think that the body lines are aggressive making the car look very sinister and mean.  


What I like about the engine is that it is a beauty. It can go from 0-100 Km/h in 2.4 seconds which about the same time a Bugatti takes. The 10 distinctive hexagonal holes on the engine cover is used to release the air released from the engine. A semi automatic engine means that there is no clutch but the gear shifts can be done manually with the help of paddle shifters. It uses electronic sensors, pneumatics, processors and actuators to execute gearshifts given by the driver or by a computer. This eliminates the use a clutch pedal which the driver would have to press before making the shift. This engine was made to make gear shifting much easier and overtaking on the highways much faster.  

McLaren P1

  

The McLaren P1 is a limited production plug-in  hybrid supercar made by McLaren. It is a successor of the McLaren F1 and it utilizes hybrid power and formula 1 technology. It features a 3.8 Lt twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine that is similar to the MP4-12C . The petrol engine produces 727 bhp and 719 Nm of torque. Since its a hybrid it will have an electric motor, the motor is 324-cell-lithium ion battery which can be charged to full capacity in 2 hours, it produces 176 bhp(131 Kw) and 260 Nm of torque. So if you combine this, the McLaren P1 will have a total output of 903 bhp and 978 Nm of torque.The car is a seven -speed dual clutch transmission and has a rear wheel drive. The battery has a range of 10 Km.

What I think of the Physical looks is it is very aerodynamic and very stylish. The headlights look very different compared to its predecessors as it resembles the McLaren logo. The kerb weight is 1,490 kg. What I love about the tail lights is the thin LED strip which makes it look different and very stylish.

What I think of the Engine is that it is very powerful because of the combination of the petrol engine and the electric motor. With that much torque it can go from 0-100 Km  in 2.8 seconds, 0-200 Km in 6.8 seconds and 0-300 Km in 16.5 seconds making it 5.5 seconds faster than than the McLaren F1. It completes a quarter mile in 9.8 seconds at 245 Km/h! and it takes 6.2 seconds to break from 299-0 Km/h during which it covers 246 meters. 

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

      

The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the most powerful Ferrari ever made.It is a smaller and more powerful car than a 599. The F12 has a V12 with the pistons at an angle of 65 degree V. The F12 shares the same engine as a 599 GTB Fiorano,  ie it shares the same 6262 cc capacity and the same angle configuration(65 degrees) but its power output is increased by 80 bhp to make it a 730 bhp output and it produces 509 Nm of torque. All these reasons shows that the F12 is the most powerful on road car Ferrari has ever made.It has a curb weight of about 1525 kgs and this cars performance is extraordinary, ie this thing delivers 0-100 km/h  in 3.1 seconds and 0-200 in 8.5 seconds  

What I like of the appearance is the new aluminium space frame chassis which is mixed with 12 different types of alloys to reduce weight and structural rigidity. It also has exceptional aerodynamics, the highlight to me is the aerobridge. This is observed on the bonnet, there is a funnel air way from the top to the bottom which will push down the air therefore increasing the down force which I think is very clever engineering. I like the grill design but what I think is that the symbol on the grill shouldn't be there because since the main logo is right above it, there is no need the put just the horse right below it, And I like about the overall looks is that it the car is a mix of a Ferrari 458 Italia and a 599 GTO.

What I think of the performance is that it is very efficient as it produces 350 g/km of CO2 which I find very impressive for an engine with that much power.

Mustang 2007

       

This is my second favorite mustang. The mustang 2007 belongs to the 5th generation of mustang. The sleek design and the aerodynamics and of course the looks makes me like the, but what i really love about the car's looks is the bulkiness which makes it look like it has a lot of power and very heavy. This monster apart from its powerful looks it has a powerful engine as well, it has a 4 liter, V6 having 2 valves per cylinder and it produces 210 horsepower and with 240 Nm of torque.

What I think of the physical looks of the car is that because of its bulky look, it will have a lot of down force which will give you proper handling and good control while turning, I like the tail lights as it is divided into 3 sections and it has LED on the perimeter of each section making it look amazing in the dark and since i like simplicity I like the headlights because its just a simple circle which looks good on the car, its simple and doesn't take up much space.

What I think of the engine part is since i'm a huge fan of american muscle I love the power it produces and noise it creates when you rev up the engine.        

Ford 67 Mustang

 

One of favorite american muscle cars is the 67 Ford Mustang. This car comes under the first generations of mustang ( 1967-1968). The reason why is love this is car is because of the amount of power that it has. The engine produces so much power and torque that it was commonly used for dragging. It has a V 8 engine having a cc of 7,010 and produces 390 horsepower! which is like crazy to handle at that time with a 4 speed manual transmission and has a max speed of 135 mph(216 km/h). It is a wheelbase of about 18 inches and a curb weight of about 2,568-3000 pounds. As you already know that this car was used in the movie "Gone in 60 seconds" staring  Nicholes Cage, the car was called Eleanor and it was his favorite car.

What is think of the physical appearance of the car is that it has a very aerodynamic structure which wont cause much air resistance as you go in high speeds.It has a serious hot rod performance in a luxury package.

What is think of the performance part is that its power is amazing i would love to drive this car in my life.
