I saw on Twatter this morning that Harris has already driven it and made the Drive video.

Apparently he can't release it due to an Embargo until about 26th May though!

There's an EVO video as well with Dickie Meaden but that wasn't as good in my opinion. General view of Sutcliffe was that it wasn't stand out better than P1. Might be a tad quicker in a straight line (a bit more power and less weight) but possibly not in the gears. It's also taken a different approach to the 918 and P1 because the hybrid power isn't there to enable the car to operate in an electric-only mode. It's sole purpose is to increase engine power so it is available all of the time unlike in the other two. Good for performance purposes but perhaps not for PR.

It sounds glorious and I like the looks too although it is a bit too closely related to lesser Ferraris in my opinion.

Sounds and goes epic, but a very small but for a 1.2 m car - not quite sure on the front end styling.
The rest of it reminds me of mix of pagani and enzo.

I think this is the first non paninfarina styled car, at the moment I think I prefer the p1 for looks, but both are obviously nice if you could put one on your drive

I really like Steve as a reviewer and this is another great video, but what I am most impressed with is that a V12 of 6.3 litres can rev to over 9000 rpm and as a result sound absolutely fantastic, well done Ferrari

.....my biggest criticism is the looks, like the front but from the doors back not so much, McLaren P1 for me please

That is Beautiful.....I have goose bumps


Can somebody buy me this car pretty please.???

I'd write that off in no time

What a car!

Not sure about the rear three quarter look though. Plus dare I suggest the rear wheels are too big and the engine cover is too long, in proportion to the front of the car :?

I like him too Sars. There is passion for the subject that comes shining through. Especially in this video.

I saw one in the flesh today. Chris Evans brought his to 'The Supercar Event' at the TopGear test track today (Dunsfold). He only picked it up Wednesday so fair play for coming along and supporting the charity day. They raffled off 5 rides in it - they went for a cool £1000 each... Not great pics as I only managed to snap them as I happened to be standing by the gate they opened up when he left. His was the first in the country until Jay Kay picked his up on Thursday. Common as muck!
