By "hybrid" - may be they are alluding to F1-derived KERS type of application for a forthcoming model?

See if you can get Frank to join McLarenLife. He would be a great addition to the community.

To me it just doesn't seem fitting to produce what will be essentially a F1 successor and not have the 3 seater layout like the F1 had.

I imagine a three seat arrangement could be engineered to avoid any cabin intrusion in a side impact. Unfortunately the resulting stiffness would likely cause huge G forces during the impact resulting in occupant injury. Shame - it would be great to see another 3 seater.

Good idea - I will make the suggestion.

Not sure we could handle his level of passion coursing through this place though.

I'm curious - some outlets are reporting P12 will be a competitor to the Aventador and that another car will be the F1 follow-up. While others are saying they are one and the same.

[Peloton25]

I can assure you that P12 is the F1's successor.

P13 will follow later and be the "entry-level" car.

P12 is something 2 wait 4! 4 sure the P12 is the supercar that's going to set the standards once again just as the MP4-12C did, if not at even higher levels!2 compare the P12 or aka P799 to the Aventador would be foolish! The 12C is not just faster and has better ride and body control but is also the better everyday sportscar! P799 ie P12 is simply quality wise at Bugatti Galibier levels when it arrives, with Lexus levels of refinement! Handling of a racecar! Mr Antony Sheriffs own words!:-) What more could a customer want or need? Ferrari's F70 better be faster than the 12C around any track otherwise their customers would look as fools! I mean Ferrari's supercars are normally not known for being comfortable! FF have that functionality. Price for the P12 aka P799 is said to be 500000-600000 £ + VAT..
