I'm really curious what's happening with the LaFerrari in the midst of all this "raising the bar" hypercar press. Has anyone outside of Ferrari driven it yet?

i still would prefer a 918. i like the high revving N/A v8 with electric power compared to turbo 8 with electric power. but this car may look better. ( P1)

both cars make the power and get MPG. but the 918 has a screaming exhaust note

those turbos without a doubt muffle some of the exhuast sound. although i think the turbo sounds coming from the engine are pretty cool.

its a trade off.

This whole concept of "torque fill" and using the electric power to mask the inherent gaps in turbo engines... I'm in love. I can't wait for this to filter down to M3 world. I'd like to bypass the upcoming turbo era and get to the really good stuff.

How can you spend that much money on a car, and have an open differential? The same setup as my stock 335I?
