?Oh! You wanna save Mother Nature???

?Where is that Hybrid(car) of Yours???

I know that all of us have been through this nonsense in our lives! As a Environmentalist myself? It is a question that I had to answer more times than I want to admit!?

But thanks to the British gear heads at the McLaren motor-corp., we can now hold our head high! Their model P1 is now one of world?s best Cars! It had the fastest time at Nürburgring Nordschleife!(a flat 7 minutes!)

It has been recently reviewed in Top Gear, It is their say:

?Many of us will have driven a car that is powerful enough to spin its wheels as you change into second gear. Some may have been fortunate enough to drive a car that can produce a little chirrup as you do a full-bore upchange to third. But the new McLaren P1 goes further than that: if the road's a bit greasy, it will spin its wheels all the way through fourth.

The trouble was that as I belted round, I'd been trying to deliver my pieces to camera, and I hadn't managed to complete a single one without interrupting myself with a sudden, wide-eyed "******* hell". "This car," I'd say, "has a 3.8-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 which produces... ******* hell." Then later, through Eau Rouge: "The feel of the steering puts me in mind of the feel you get from a Ferrari 458. It feels light and yet... oh, ******* hell."

In Race mode, the car hunkers down by 50mm, and the rear wing grows into a slab that can generate 600kg of downforce. It's supposed to make the whole thing grippier and stickier and more planted. But, on a wet day, it makes it feel nervous and skittish. And every time you go near the throttle, the instant torque of the electric motor kicks the back end out of shape. You have about four heart attacks and six adrenaline surges every 10 seconds.

In the rain, it's better to leave everything in Sport. That way, you only have a heart attack every half hour or so. And yet. The previous day, I had been driving this incredible game-changer around the Belgian city of Bruges in electric mode. It had been silent and light, and the all-round visibility was good. It was a better urban car for these eco times than a G-Wiz. Mainly because, even with the petrol motor shut down, you still have 176bhp at your disposal.?
