New Top Gear

[Dead Eye]

So, it has to be asked; which would you prefer? The Porsche 918 Spyder or the McLaren P1?

Personally... I'm preferring the P1, BUT I've never really liked Porsche's

The new hybrid technology being developed is incredibly fascinating though - the fact that the 918 produces less CO2 under normal driving than a Prius is quite impressive. Once this technology boils down the technology tree to standard family cars, it will be a huge step forward.

On a personal note, I'm beginning to really want to get on with the work on my car, as the new gearbox I have for it has an LSD which should hopefully transform its performance - I was talking to a friend this week about it who was talking about how much better it would feel and then the clips from tonight with the Golf GTi reminded me... obviously I doubt it's going to be as impressive as the Golf, but still
