    I didn't see it but suspect that was the McLaren MP4-12C.

    Awesome! It's very cool to see all those great machines, that I'll never be able to afford to own, all in one place at the same time. Thanks!

    I'd take the Porsche 918. I like everything about the Mclaren except for that big smilely face front end!!!

    Looks like I was wrong again...either that or one of the automotive "news" sites reported it incorrectly. The 918 is apparently a 2015 model. Still under development but looking better and better as the design matures.

    Looks like Chris Harris took it for another drive. Gorgeous IMO. The car, that is...

    In the end all the cars look very good a Ferrari even the "LaFerrari" is still the winner.

    The McLaren P1 is an excellent car but in the end I would rather have the Red Ferrari.

    If you haven't heard, there have been a couple engine fires in Porsche's 911 GT3s. Porsche mulled it over, figured out what the problem is and decided on an expensive solution. That is, expensive for Porsche. Too bad more manufacturers don't respond so proactively, though my cynical side can easily imagine this being about worry over liability...

    Well I give the a huge thumbs up for replacing every engine. That is going to cost them huge.
