I think the biggest advantage to scissor doors on supercars is that they're so low to the ground, a standard curb will trap you in the car.

Weird, I'm amazing at Mario Kart but in reality I can't throw a turtle to save my life.

OTHER PROBLEMS: If the thing explodes with the force of an air bag, how does the sudden change in pressure affect your ear?

It uses an accelerometer I assume, so how likely is it to go off if you turn your head quickly and CAUSE a crash? Probably more likely than a traditional helmet.

And yeah it's been pointed out

Assuming resale value didn't matter to you, who would rather have an EB110? I know I would.

Oh my god, Bugatti, just stop. Design a new car already, for cryin out loud. It doesn't even have to be the fastest in the world! Look at the 12C if you don't believe me! Honestly, what's next, the Woody SS? A new $500,000 pencil sharpener option? A kick in the face?

At some point in the future, the internal combustion engine will be gone from road cars. How do you anticipate Formula 1 reacting to this — not just in terms of technology, but also fan reaction?

Maybe it has been said, but... eventually someone is going to buy a P1 and hire a pro driver to do a 'Ring lap. I don't for a second believe the car was just SO FAST that they can't tell us, for everyone else's safety, or to rope-a-dope Porsche & Ferrari. McLaren is a business. They sell speed. I hope I'm wrong but my

This reminds me of the movie Brazil. Some unassuming guy gets mistaken for a terrorist, the state comes, snatches him, etc... and sends his wife the bill! I thought it was funny when it happened in Brazil. Now I just feel kind of sick.

Thirded.

What are they gonna do, hire rent-a-cops to give out tickets? That's an expense that a private company doesn't want. You don't want it either because the rent-a-cops would have to issue enough citations to justifiy their salaries, so the road slows down.

Where is the figure of 159.4 feet for braking 62-0? Looks like the stats below say 99 feet. I can't figure out where that 159 comes from at all. And it's a bit shocking that an automotove writer would think the P1 brakes worse than my '99 Forester...

While this is incredible, and I could never in a million years do it, the fisheye lens really adds to the perception of speed. In the car, with a helmet on, it doesn't look like that.

Dear lord, those panel gaps are worse than 80's-era TVR. For $1.8 million? Seriously? That's borderline insulting.

Just one man's opinion, but I think every current BMW model is way, way too fussily styled. M-B is doing it too, only slightly less.

Cadillac has the history to justify building a halo car, but I think it would only work if they went completely nuts with it. Like actual gold and sapphire instruments, endangered trees and animals cut up for the interior, and a 9 liter inline 12. Make 500, charge $500,000, and you'd sell every one, says me.

This was an awesome piece of work, but the following sentence made my head hurt:

"Because, really, aren't there too many theme parks to compete with in Los Angeles to manage your baseball team as anything other than another one?"

I think the answer is... no?

Early adopters of the automobile were less likely than we are to die in a road accident. However, they were far more likely to be burned as witches.

I like to think that the women who are going to prove Sir Stirling wrong are, at this very moment, using his comments as motivation to kick additional ass.

My dad taught me to hate all SUVs that are not designed to haul bricks or dead animals through the jungle, but I always had a soft spot for the LM002. And whenever someone says [Bentley, Porsche, etc] shouldn't make an SUV, I always tell them "Don't hate the player, hate the game ." They wouldn't make them if people
