We’d kill for a McLaren P1, Porsche 918, or LaFerrari. This guy owns all three

Add as a preferred source on Google

Few people in the world will ever get the chance to drive, much less own a McLaren P1, Porsche 918, or LaFerrari. Englishman Paul Bailey happens to have all three.

Having already possessed the keys to a brilliant Volcano Orange P1, Bailey set off to complete the holy trinity on January 24th with his wife Selena and news outlet Supercar Driver in tow.

First on the schedule was the Italian LaFerrari, which required a short drive to a lot in Nottingham, U.K. Of course, they made the voyage in the stunning P1, because why not. Bailey’s example was actually the first ever to be delivered in the U.K. and only the second globally.

Once the extravagant, Rosso Fiorano-clad Ferrari was signed off, the duo traveled to a Porsche dealership in Cambridge to complete the trio. 918 Spyder in tow, Bailey and his impressive entourage pranced down the motorway in a fashion that few others can do. As of this writing, each supercar is sold out.

Green with envy yet? Bailey, who calls himself a “serial supercar collector,” also owns a Porsche Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo. Yeah, we kinda hate him too.

Supercar Driver also said that a 15-minute documentary detailing Bailey’s purchases is on the way, with a trailer debuting soon.

If you’re like us, you can’t get enough of these high-priced hybrid wonders. Top Gear Series 22 is currently underway, which will likely a full-length comparison video of all three cars. Top Gear Magazine released a short driving clip of the trio last week, which gives us another tasty look at the cars in action.

As for Mr. Bailey? You can learn more about him and his Volcano Orange P1 in the video below.

I've been watching Volkswagen's China lineup quietly get cooler for the past two years, but the ID. Unyx 09 might be the moment it finally gets exciting, not just for Chinese buyers, but for the rest of the world as well. 

Regulatory filings from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Batch 409, have exposed the full specs of the upcoming sedan ahead of its official launch later this year, and it looks nothing like any VW car I've seen before (via CarNewsChina).

China’s GWM is making a Beetle lookalike EV, and it somehow looks better
GWM upgrades Ora Ballet Cat with 150kW motor and 180km/h top speed
Ora Ballet Cat

The Volkswagen Beetle may be long gone, but one of its most obvious spiritual successors isn't ready to disappear just yet. Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor (GWM) is preparing to relaunch the Ora Ballet Cat, its retro-styled electric hatchback that famously drew comparisons with the iconic Beetle. This time, however, the company is hoping extra performance and a fresh identity will succeed where clever marketing couldn't.

According to a report by Car News China, the latest regulatory filings published in China reveal that the Ora Ballet Cat is receiving a more powerful electric motor, a higher top speed, and could even lose its feline-inspired name altogether. The update arrives as competition in China's EV market reaches new highs, forcing automakers to rethink products that once stood out for style alone.
