I'm lucky enough to have now driven the Mercedes-AMG One and the Aston Martin Valkyrie. They both offer more performance than any normal human being could ever want to use on the public highway. And they both confirm that the genre of the hypercar has not only failed to progress since 2015 in areas meaningful to people who love driving, but that it might well have regressed.
You see, 2015 was the year that it all came together. The LaFerrari, Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 arrived as the Holy Trinity and they created what would become the finest grudge match in my working life. Their performance and specifications were so perfectly aligned that it really was just a matter of getting them to the same track at the same time, and watching the feathers fly.
