My mate has a 918 and a 911R among other things. He's clocked over 20,000miles on the 918 and it's still worth more than he paid for it. With the rare cars, they only go up.
It is amazing isn't it! You could buy those, drive them and enjoy them, and then sell them and still make a bundle of money.
The 918 is amazing. Most experienced drivers at the track I go to only get up to about 150 mph on the back straight if they have a fast car, and these are A class drivers or instructors. The instructor driving the 918 got it up to 175 mph on the back straight. I wonder when other super cars will start to go hybrid.
One of the instructors I know drives the big Tesla sedan, or maybe I should say he has it drive him. He has the fully automated version and it drives him from his home to work or wherever he needs. He seems at home with having the car take over because his job is a professional pilot for Delta. I guess he is used to having those planes do everything too. He says he just reads on the way to work much of the time. That would scare the shit out of me.
