Can you specify or show the up front led?

They're the LED DRL's.

I am absolutely sure that if you were to order a P1, they will disconnect or remove those led's for you at no additional cost.
I like 'em

I'm liking it more than the ferrari when i see it in dark colours. Very well designed car when u see it in sunlight. The lines and shapes are very creative. Very beastly car.
As for the ferrari it sounds much much better! Ferrari still my number 1 pick all because of the V12.
For Sure!!

Why did they leave carpet samples lying on the dashboard?

It´s Alcantara and i believe it´s in order to not reflect sunlight right into the drivers eyes.

Great shot. And I agree with Ringo that it looks better in dark colors.

Quite interesting, saying they have some secrets they have yet announced, due to Ferrari i suppose.

Such a bland sound for a hypercar, feels like I'm listening to a Gran Turismo game engine note.
