Laferrari

So, the final contender for the title of best hypercar has arrived. After keeping it under wraps for so long, it has finally been revealed. With a fire-breathing V12 mated to a silent electric motor. This car is significantly better than the Enzo of before, being lighter, more ridged and more spacious inside (even though the roofline is lower. What sorcery is this?),and with a lower centre of mass. The Laferrari encompasses the electric motor to fill in gaps in the V12's torque, rather than to create an all-electric mode as in the Maclaren P1. However, to say that it does not improve efficiency is wrong. On the contrary, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by 50% than if the car didn't use the motor. 

The Laferrari uses a lot of formula one-style technology in its construction. The use of different composite tyres and the use of regenerative braking both help it to be more extreme on the road or track. Despite this the Laferrari weighs just 1255kg, which is amazing when you realise that it is a hybrid. The combined horsepower of this machine is 950bhp, but it will cost you £1million pounds for the privilege. However, if it is any consolation you do get your name engraved on the steering wheel if you did buy it. Which you can't as they are all sold out. And you have to meet some very strict regulations if you wanted to buy one. Regulations no ordinary mortal could meet. Oh we'll, I just hope I get to see one in real life. I'm easy to please.

So, which one would you have? 918, P1 or Laferrari? Verdicts would be appreciated In the comments box and I will make sure I reply. Let the arguing commence.
