Nowadays, you can't just say you've made the most powerful car and thus it's also the fastest, you have to find the right setup and send it out to the Nurburgring.
Three hybrid supercars from three of the most prestigious automakers in the wold are now vying for supremacy.
Porsche has already sent out the 918 Spyder with the Weissach Package on the famous German track and set a time of 6:57, making it the third fastest car after a couple of Radicals. But now, McLaren wants to show its the fastest and is re-testing the P1.
On a completely closed course, the P1 went full-banzai, reports indicating a provisional result of 6:47. This would make it easily the fastest production car there.
Surely, the two companies will accuse each other of cheating, but the fact of the matter is we're in the era of hybrid speed, where electricity is relevant on the track.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
