Default Ferrari F150, Mclaren P1, Porsche 918...

With the Geneva Motor show coming up, and many new and exciting supercars about to be officially unvielled, I thought i'd start a thread to see which of the big THREE super exotics everyone was in favor of the most. The McLaren P1 has some ugly styling in my opinion but is a big contender on the track based off of Mclarens website. The Porsche 918 looks beautiful in my opinion but lacks that "experience" of owning/driving a super sports car. And lastly, The Ferrari "F150" which looks to be the best of the three. With huge power (920 Horsepower), hybrid tech with HY-KERS, and an engine note that seems unparallelled in the super sports car market. With that said whats looking to be or is your favorite?

That's right! Though I heard rumors that Bugatti are possibly going to do away with the 'veyron' name for their next car. The performance specs Bugatti is aiming for is pretty incredible though, 0-60 in 1.8 sec and a top speed of 290mph!

The actual car isn't called the F150 that's just the project name Ferrari is using for the development of the car...the actual name is yet to be announced.

Which is why I really doubt this one is going to be called the F150. The P1 is pure sex

The designers and engineers poured their heart and souls into the making of the vehicle and had no energy to think up a proper name.
