g-force Report post Posted December 13, 2012 from R8 talk :Audi Quattro boss Franciscus Van Meel just did the unthinkable. He managed to imagine a car that will be faster than one of the world’s fastest cars that doesn’t exist yet. “If we make this car it will be the absolute best supercar, and completely different in concept to the R8,” Van Meel said to AutoExpress. “It will be very Vorsprung Durch Technik, very innovative.” The rag then went on to ask if it will be faster than a McLaren P1, to which he said “yes.” Keep in mind that specifications for the McLaren P1 won’t be available until March when the brand is scheduled to unveil the second chapter in its halo car story during the Geneva Motor Show. Still, it is possible for Van Meel to make that claim. It would, of course, require Audi to wait until the P1 is available. At the moment, the P1 is thought to harbor something around 720 hp based on the brand’s stated power-to-weight ratio. Official figures, however, are undisclosed The full article http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2012/12...-boss-says.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2772 Report post Posted January 17, 2014 720hp in the P1? Maybe the engine, but not with all the hybrid shit on it. Seems like just a ton of speculation with no hard facts to back it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
