How come iPad 164 version is not out yet

b33g33 · 11-04-2011, 07:49 AM

1. ~$185k

2. ~$230k

3. ~$55k ($65k w/ markup)

Also, based on what I could glean from the videos, other contenders were:

- Ferrari FF
- Lambo Aventador
- Lotus Elise Club Racer
- Renault Clio Cup R
- F10 M5
- Jaguar XKR-S
- Was there an Aston?

Not bad. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, with 2 out of the 3 choices. I'm lucky enough to have the 1m and am picking up my 4.0 RS soon. I looked into the MP4-12C but just did not get excited by all that new technology. I might have been more serious if I got to drive it but I did not.

marcel b · 11-04-2011, 07:53 AM

the last video sums it up quite well

as7920 · 11-04-2011, 08:16 AM

So in eCOTY, the 1M beats it's arch nemesis the Cayman R.

I would call that a result.

The 1M is in pretty good company

Aussie_in_London · 11-04-2011, 08:53 AM

3rd place is pretty good for a car that won't turn

Pete_vB · 11-04-2011, 11:24 AM

Impressive. That's a strong field. I'm almost a bit surprised that it beat out the M5, Cayman R, Aventador and Ferrari FF. Those are some very solid cars for a parts bin special to take down.

Wonder how the boss (non laguna seca) 'stang would have placed.

bimmerJP · 11-04-2011, 01:27 PM

How can MP4 take the 2nd place?? I thought it is just a computer-driven car instead of a fun-to-drive car like 458 or... BMW!

Bubajay · 11-04-2011, 01:28 PM

Yep, an Aston Martin Vantage S
