One Lap of the Web: More McLaren P1 madness, Nissan's cute Le Mans engine and get weird in a Subaru SVX coupe

-- We drove the 2015 McLaren P1. We liked the 2015 McLaren P1. And in that sense, we've very much like Jay Leno, who toured the hypercar's hyper-futuristic factory in Woking, England before putting it through its paces on the track. It's all been captured on video for our benefit. We can't help but wonder if Leno has claimed one of the 375 production P1s; if he has, we suspect the car will make an appearance in an upcoming episode of Leno's Garage. Until then, watch the video above.

-- Have you seen Nissan's new Le Mans engine? It has three cylinders, packs a whopping 400 hp and is totally adorable. It's meant to provide alternative power for the ZEOD RC, which will race primarily in electric mode but will receive short burst of internal combustion power here and there. At 88 lbs., the tiny 1.5-liter powerplant is small enough to pick up and carry -- and we wouldn't be surprised if some of the technology that makes it perform on the race track makes it to the weight-obsessed world of production cars some day.

-- Continuing the cute-and-tiny theme, Autoblog has a video of a miniature (but still big enough to carry children and strange old men wearing conductor's caps) train colliding with a full-size Honda Accord. We're not sure how the car managed to get stuck on the tracks, but the results are both surprising and surprisingly hilarious. We hope the owner's insurance adjusters have a sense of humor.

-- Finally, the Subaru SVX wasn't a perfect car by any means -- it was expensive when new, and a four-speed automatic was the only transmission option -- but it was quirky and futuristic. And we think that's worth something, though maybe not the $25,000 the seller of this pristine 1994 SVX demands (that's at the low end of what these cars originally sold for). Is this a fair deal for a bizarre piece of Subaru history? Tough to say, but it wouldn't hurt to make an offer.
