Mood board showing 6m 33.26sec lap time sparks lap-record rumours; McLaren plays them down McLaren has reiterated that its goal for the McLaren P1 around the Nurburgring Nordschleife is a sub-seven minute lap, despite an image emerging from a presentation to Chinese media suggesting its real target could be closer to 6m 30sec.

Redefining Super Luxury On A Shrinking PlanetAnyone on Earth with access to the Internet, a television or radio for the last 20 years knows that China is no longer the poor stronghold for strict Communist ideals that it was for much of the 20th Century. (Well, at least not in some places.) Traveling to China twice in less than a month – first to Shanghai for a very international auto show and now to Beijing to drive and review the 2014 Bentley Flying Spur – I’ve learned that there’s no lack of personal wealth, at least in two of the world’s largest cities.And yet, even I think the scene before me is a little bit ridiculous.
