This is probably out of budget for Aventador owners anyways. This will be Buggatti Veyron territory.

That's the most bad-*** wing I've ever seen. Good god this thing is going to be awesome. Can't wait to see Top Gear test it out.

...also, I kind of like the evil grin and fangs.

Exactly, it's going to be an epic battle. Not sure if the Porsche 918 will be able to hang, but that car is also incredibly gorgeous.

And to owners of the MP4-12C, they're not worries. They knew that wasn't going to be an F1 replacement, it was merely their mainstream car to launch the brand, a 458 competitor. Just like 458 buyers won't be pissed when the F70 comes out.

The P1 is amazing, definitely does justice to the F1 and will be ridiculous on the track.

I think the 918 will definitely get thrown in the mix with them, but I don't think it will be able to keep up. I'd give McLaren the performance edge with Ferrari getting the looks/driving experience edge.

Why? I think Aventador looks better in every way.

I think they're both gorgeous, but in different ways. Which one "looks better" is subjective. The Aventador has more of the fighter plane edge to it. It looks like it should be flying at mach 2. It's chisled, cut and very muscular looking. The P1 looks like its from another planet. It something you would think of if you had to imagine some other species designing a car. It looks like molten metal draped over something going very fast. It looks like a spaceship that should be flying in warp speed.

Yup! Very cool !

You'll need to print out this picture for it to work.

Just tried out that app today and it's freaking awesome! It works if you aim the camera at the image on the computer screen too.

Incredible looking car. I was lucky enough to get to check one out at the E3 gaming expo in June (because it's in Forza 5). Looks amazing in person.
