Damn, the Porsche looks so much cleaner and it will be the more global offering. Just look at the CO2 emissions. The 918 is 3 times cleaner than the P1 and 5 times cleaner than the F70. That is impressive. If Porsche engineers can make it equally fast using technology etc they will have a complete winner because it will be able to do so much more than the competition.. also I think personally it looks by far the best!!
At the end of the day, I may not yet be convinced by all the hybrid tech and that 300kg extra weight, but Porsche is German and it was to be excepted. I applaud their initiative with working with performance hybrids as this has to be the future for all supercars.. The Ferrari bloke above mentioned it too, it is the only reason the F70 is starting to play around with a hybrid system too.
I would love a simple and sick fast 918 with traditional race engine, but I think this will by far surpass everything. Porsche tested this car like no other, so the product will work. Furthermore, I think the Porsche has learned a lot from the CGT and ensured that their new halo car isn't a widow maker and more of a total daily driver.. Porsche's have always been the most usable of all sports cars in terms of driving, reliability etc.. so their experience with the CGT and the sometimes harsh criticism had a deeper impact.
Anyways, the 918 is a true halo supercar with amazing looks and technically very advanced like the 959 was. It means the future of Porsche is seen in this car and of course by now everyone knows.. just look at the new GT3. I for one like this new direction, I think it is necessary to survive.
