"So allow me to speculate idly for a moment on their behalf. My money would be on the Porsche being quickest, despite a sizeably inferior power to weight ratio compared to its British and Italian rivals and the reason is simply traction. The four-wheel drive 918 has so much that on battery power alone it was quicker over the first 100 metres than the Lexus LFA that went on to come third over all.
Such is the advantage conferred by all-wheel drive on this bumpy, treacherous course I doubt that for all their extra firepower either the LaFerrari or P1 would have been back on terms by the top. But I really have no better idea than you."

 

car and driver just had their performance test at vir raceway. 918 was insanely faster than everything else. rest of the fast guys were nismo gtr, viper ta, f12, z28, 911tt. wish speciale, laf, p1, 650s and gt3 were there but absent.

 

Source C&D:

 

 

There was no competition for the 918 there. The car is 4x or more in price to any car there but the F12 which is a GT.

 

Pobst lapped a 918 at 1:30xx at MRLS, taking the record by about 3 seconds. I was disappointed it didn't get into the 1:29s, possibly tying the top superbikes.

 

May as well throw these in here too.
