Chris Harris on cars - LaF vs 918 vs P1 !!!

Video was too long and dragged a bit. Still looking forward to the not-top gear version.

Mighty impressed by the 918. If they built a road legal 919 it will demolish these two.

Goes to show what a proper performance-focused AWD system can do. Great video, epic cars, but I know which one I'd have.

Goes to show that you can have too much power on rear wheel drive cars, that even a less powerful, heavier car with all wheel drive will keep up.

LaF is definitely the least track oriented car out of the 3. Only comes with Corsas, and is the only car out of the 3 that has a button to "soften" it's suspension. No fixed wing, highest ride height (even tho the car itself is really low).

P1 in track mode with Trofeos is clearly the most track oriented, 918 on the cup 2 is somewhere in between them. All wheel drive, all wheel steering, etc..

Would have been interesting to see them on a faster and longer track like Spa, where the Porsche would have less AWD benefit.

Or on the Nordschleife, word is the P1 does not have enough battery for a complete Lap there and can't recharge enough if driven always pedal to the metal.

Seriously impressed Chris Harris has enough clout to pull this off. Great episode.

I have a feeling he piggybacked on the Amazon "Top Gear" shoot. Jeremy Clarkson posted a tweet back in October of these exact cars at this track.

Still, I think this was Harris' best video to date and impressive that he was able to get Tiff out. Production quality was very high as well. But I'm really excited to see what the old Top Gear trio were able to pull off.
