As a die-hard Ferrari fan, it is hard to watch McLaren kick ass with their McLaren P1. As a die-hard sports car fan, it is intoxicating to see what is achievable in a street car in 2014. These things (including the Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari in the conversation too) are just so much more powerful, fast and straight out crazy than ever imagined. When new videos pop up of any of these cars we are quick to make sure we share them so we can all enjoy. 

This Autocar review of the McLaren P1 by Steve Sutcliffe is over three days and included a drag race against an AMG Mercedes, sideways action on a race circuit and airfield and then some road time. If you don't want to watch the video the conclusion is that the P1 is remarkably usable on public roads and is probably the best supercar EVER made. Bold claim but it seems plausible. Turn up the volume and sit back and relax. 

Is the new LaFerrari purely a technical tour de force, or is it a real driver's car? Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe heads to Ferrari's Fiorano test track to find out.

The reviews on the new-generation Porsche 911 GT3 keep dropping in with the latest video coming from UK magazine Autocar's road tester, Steve Sutcliffe, who sat behind the wheel of the most focused 991 to date during the car's European media presentation.To say that he was impressed, is an understatement, with Sutcliffe stating that it's extremely fast yet "so stable", going as far as saying that it's "the bargain of the century" at  £100,000 (equal, but not comparable, to about US$152,000) and the "best car Porsche has ever made".

Since we gather some of you will be asking, the Nissan GT-R starts at £76,610 (US$117,000) in Britain.

Before we let you watch the video (that is, if you haven't done so already), we'll remind youthat the new 911 GT3 comes with a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine rated for 469HP (475PS) with a seven-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission transferring power to the rear axle, for a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h (195 mph)

The McLaren 650S Spider is more than a modified 12C Spider. A quarter of its parts are new and owes much to the mighty P1. Steve Sutcliffe finds out if it can still thrill.

The McLaren 650S Spider costs some £20k more than the £190,000 coupe version, and it's worth every penny. Why? Because it can do just about everything the coupé can do dynamically yet adds a sizeable hit of extra sex appeal to go with it. And that arrives courtesy of a folding hard top roof that can glide up or down in but a few seconds, and which transforms the 650S into an even more exotic creature on the move. Steve Sutcliffe puts it to the test.

Can a supercar beat a superbike? Can a Audi A1 outrun a Nissan GT-R on a wet circuit? Can a Porsche 911 slay a Corvette on the drag strip? Autocar pitches the giants of the performance car world against each other to deliver the all-important verdict.

The McLaren P1 is the long awaited successor to the mighty McLaren F1 of 1994, and as such represents the pinnacle of achievement, both now and in the foreseeable future as far McLaren Automotive's expanding range of road cars is concerned. For the time being it is, says McLaren, if not the fastest car in the world - that title almost certainly belongs to Ferrari's even more potent, slightly lighter LaFerrari - then the most exciting hypercar to drive the world has ever seen.
