I'm beginning to think we've been conned, says Andrew Frankel in The Daily Telegraph. Remember all those hybrid hypercars, the LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder? They were launched at about the same time and, although "ferociously expensive and massively complex", they did at least appear to redraw the boundaries of what was possible in terms of performance. Then along comes the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. It may be rather expensive at just over £200,000, but that's still less than a third of the money you'd hand over for the aforementioned hypercars.
