Just another day in !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! life. You've just taken delivery of your yellow LaFerrari and want to see how it stacks up against the rest of your collection. But what to do when your glow in the dark !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is all the way in London and you can't find the keys to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You take out your diamond encrusted Vertu cell phone and yell at your henchman to pick up "that noisy little matte black car" from the Losail racetrack in Qatar and race it over post haste. Of course you've temporarily forgetting that the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is a track-only car, 1 of 20, and absolutely positively not allowed to be driven on the road. Enjoy the spectacle below.

I'm pleasantly surprised with how much the LaFerraris have been out and about! Lots of videos of them doing stuff. Sadly, no P1 or 918 counterparts. I was reading about the 918 and it's the most incredible of the three I think. Just look it up.

Not ever super car drive ends up on this website. Jay Leno has quietly put 3000 miles on his P1. And there was a P1 in the mclaren drive in Italy where the white F1 one was crashed. I think this is more of a result of the Ferrari crowd being more hey look at me types than the others, thus ending up on jalopnik.

It's super nice of the Sheiks to flash their cars and show us this, while bending rules like the Sesto cause who really cares whether it can hit the road or not.
But I wish they would spend the same amount of money on camera eqiupment as they do on cars. If this Vine-like video is just near the original quality then it is just sad.
The Sheiks should totally hook up with Kyle from 1320 or some other experienced car-at-speed filming crew for this stuff!

it's the slowest one of the three, least expensive, and has the least horsepower of the three.
Yet it is absolutely the best one in the lineup. The 918 is stunning looking. The Laferrari is typical Ferrari looking. Nothing different, and nothing quite amazing. The mclaren is like an alien spaceship. It is crazy looking and gets attention, but it's sure as shit not beautiful. The 918 is flawless. I've yet to see a supercar that good looking. It has classic mid engine super car lines while also being a completely modern supercar. There is not a single bad line on the car. It's flawless.

Somehow I am more impressed with porsche's "secret" garage or Jay Leno's than his garage. Or even Glickenhaus as well. Sometimes having a little imagination takes you a long way. You see all the prerequisites of the Supercar/Hypercar world.
If there was some rich guy out there that took the time and used photos of the BMW M8 and tried to recreate that, had old school iron of different makes, and unique vechicles throughout the ages, plus all those rare exotics, then my nose gets open. Like a automotive Smithsonian museum....that is just heavy on the enthusiast iron.
Now, that being said...it is impressive. That 599 and Saleen S7, though....

The Lamborghini weighs 1000kg and has 562 hp (562hp/tonne) (albeit, with AWD and slick tires), the Ferrari weighs probably 1300kg and has 949 hp 730hp/tonne). If the race went any longer, the Ferrari would have walked the Lamborghini.

I wouldn't put an Aventador (even a mythical future SV) in that mix as it can't compete, and would probably hold out for the SSC Tuatara (though it's still borderline vaporware) which is the successor to the Ultimate Aero. Hmm, anything you probably missed still? I know it would get decimated in a long race and isn't a million dollar hypercar, but an Ariel Atom V8 might hold its own for a quarter mile. Let's also add some 2 wheeled fun too: such as a BMW HP4.
