"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."

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.

And while you are saving $750, you can go 0-60 in 2.2 seconds and the standing quarter mile in 9.8 seconds and on track hit 220+ MPH! AND you get to drive one of the 3 best cars in the world today! What a deal!!!
