Beautiful machine. What did it feel like? Can't imagine how the instant torque of the electric motor and the ICE engine marry up, must be relentless!

Felt absolutely nuts, it's the only car I've been it to date that felt faster than a Tesla! It makes lots of different cool noises too. He also has a 675LT which we went round in before the P1 and the back end on the P1 is very planted in comparrison which is surprising with 903bhp

That's because you've only been out in slow Teslas...

What a great experience. Fantastic looking car, and it was closing on the Audi
