Actually I think it's ultra lame to put into a supercar functions that any cheap smartphone can do, like this console Hamster was so jolly about. A supercar should be like Ferrari F40; built just for track times and only. Nothing that doesn't serve the sole purpose should be onboard. Otherwise it's not a real sportscar anymore, it's a cock enhancer for rich impotents who choose gold diggers over prostitutes because they're deluded enough to think it's more elegant.

@@BFD15i True. Unfortunately for cars, bikes still achieve higher RPM and acceleration overall because of their significantly much lesser weight, with only a fraction of the cost of a supercar, which makes bikes the true kings in a straight line, beating lots of high-end cars.

[@slipknnnot]

It's alright being a McLaren or a Ferrari fan and criticizing the Porsche 918, but don't go around saying "I'd take the P1/LaF on the track", "LaF/P1 are in a different league" etc... You honestly just sound stupid, the only thing you can criticize are the sounds and aesthetics(you are still being distasteful if you, in my opinion) The Porsche 918 is by far the most refined track production car in the world at the moment, it's #1 in the world for what it was designed to do. Why do you think the P1/LaF didn't post their times? because they know that Porsche engineers surpassed them this year. I'm a huge fan of the LaF/P1/Z06/Viper TA/GT-R and such but I just can't bad mouth the 918 spyder - the engineers did a fantastic job designing this car. Not only is it the most efficient with its impressive and superior V8, it also has a superior electric motor. You get the #1 track production car in the world with AWD, Luxury, Comfort, Efficiency and a lower price. A ton of respect to Porsche for coming out with the 918! P.S. All you Koenihgesagggeassgegeegegeaagagegeagag die hard, brain dead, fanboys... Yes the one:1 is an amazing car, but it has no track times posted. It's not designed to be a track car either way, it's designed to be the lightest and fastest accelerating production car in the world with the highest top speed. Totally different game, completely different price bracket and it will probably be inferior to the 918 on the track just because of the fact that it has so much power to the rear wheels and is so lightweight, the Agera R was an impressive car but it was definitely not a top 3 car on the track.

even f you win the lottery you wouldn't be able to afford that car. a set of tyres are costing 20000 euros, and a normal inspection will be too at 20000 euro because they have to remove the exhausts, and the next thing is, if you want to have climate function renewed,, there is a chance of breaking the windshield, which is handmade and extremely expensive, too. and i dont even want to start talking about the carbon-ceramic brakes.

I don't often comment on KZbin, but I am compelled to do so as this is by far one of the best Top Gear episodes. And for anyone who hasn't seen it, watch the first episode of The Grand Tour in which they continue the story with this "Holy Trinity" of cars. The 918, P1, and LaFerrari truly ushered in a new era for supercars; the hypercars.

If i could only have a 918 for the rest of my life, or a P1 and E63S. i'd choose the P1 combo. If it was just a 918 and P1, i'd have a 918. The 918 is more for road use than the P1.

The Porsche 918 for me: Quicker launch, a launch as fast as the Veyron, Koeniggsegg One. 200 more torque than the P1 giving a faster launch from a corner. Top Speed of 345km/h, but cars can go faster than their top speeds. Elegance Luxury Alot more practical and futuristic but simple than the P1 and LaFerrari Can go close to 20 kms just on electric mode, nearly 3 times more than the P1 More eco-friendly than some Holden or Honda electric car that was named in this video. Most practical, best looking car. Sounds like music. Technologically advanced. Also capable to be used in your everyday lives. Sadly, the 918 and the other 2 hypercars are illegal here in Australia.

[@docluv14]

The P1, The 918 and the LaFerrari are all wonderful cars!

[@KNOWHOPE72]

Great presentation as usual by Top Gear. So the 918 is also a fire spitter like the P1. I have to say that after watching quite a few videos of the 918, P1 and LaFerrari, I have come to the conclusion that the 918 is the pinnacle of automotive engineering. Leave it to the perfectionist Germans to pull it off. Come to think of it, how can a LaFerrari or a P1 lap a faster time than a 918 when both those cars are only two wheel drive and have only two wheel steering while the 918 has 4 wheel drive AND 4 wheel steering. No wonder it has much more grip and is more tame and refined around a track than the other two. However, unless one is out to win a race, I would rather opt for a seat-of-your-pants driving experience like the LaFerrar and P1 offer. The only color this car looks good in is silver. It really brings out the design.

[@Real_MisterSir]

***** While no one really knows which one is faster around the 'Ring, you have to remember the 918 weights a great deal more than the other two, due to its dual electric motors and heavier battery. Also, reviewers have said the McLaren feels faster, which it also is once they are off the line. It has more hp, lower weight, and twin turbo helps a lot. I saw a comparison of the 918 and P1 where they raced at Laguna Seca, and the 918 was a bit faster around the track. I think that is because it is a technical track which is short and has many tight turns. That means the 918's 4 wheel steer and drive helps it a lot out of corners. But the P1has better downforce for high speed circuits and maintaing great speed around fast corners, so it really depends on the track and weather conditions. People generally forget how "track performance" varies greatly depending on the track type itself. A car which is heaps faster on one track, can easily be slower on another one :)

[@KNOWHOPE72]

Brilliant Car + Top Notch Editing and Cinematography = This

[@mr019acb]

The first sexy Porsche since the Carrera GT. Personally I like the looks of it more than the P1´s and the Ferraris´. It just looks classy and probably will be appreciated also in like 20 years or so. And to those who say it is not match for the P1 and Ferrari: 1. There is a drag race on KZbin where the Porsche beats the P1 until around 160 mph so basically until it´s electric motor is shut down (Porsche don´t care about top speed and acceleration beyond those speeds, since you almost never reach them on track. 2. The Turbo also has never been a light sportscar, but can still compete with the best in it´s category. Not to mention it is more practical and I assume more comfortable as well. The build quality of Porsche again is just amazing. People did 50 (I think) launches with it´s launch control back to back to back and the car kept the same acceleration the entire time for all the 50 launches. So far we haven´t seen those three hybrids really competing, so nobody knows which of those will be the fastest.

[@DonTuliosS]

[@juliantaffa4089]

Hammond was absolutely right in saying that the 918 was an insight into what the future of the supercar was going to look like. Everything is going all-wheel-drive now and there are a whole stack of hybrid supercars. Ferrari's SF90 Stradale will be AWD Hybrid, and Lamborghini have said that the Aventador's replacement will be the same. At the ultra-high-end, Aston Martin have the upcoming Valkyrie which will be F1-style RWD but will be hybrid, and AMG have the One which is AWD with a Formula 1 Hybrid powertrain. Porsche predicted the future of the hypercar.
