I think the 1998 McLaren F1 road car [still] looks better – this looks to be nothing more than a Ferrari x’ed with a Lamborghini [which shows how similar the two Italian supercars now look]…. and the SLR was a German vank!

That chin in the blacked-out photo is unmistakeably Jay Leno!

I’m sure it will be VERY fast!It’s shape however,looks almost dated.I’m sure Ferrari had a similiar shape with the 360 Modena.
These type of cars are beginning to look very similiar with one another.

Yup..simply brilliant – Definitely don’t think they will fluff this car..

From reading about it’s predecessor development in “Driving ambitions” -I sincerely hope the new development was as thorough and single minded as it’s mac daddy.

Can’t wait till it hits the market … not that im in the market…lol.

Way to go McLaren!!!!Coolest car I’ve seen so far…if Porsche is not in the scene, I’d absolutely go for this car. Great car, a complete package.

I think I might just sell my family to put a deposit on one of those.

Its *insert vulgarities* freakin beautiful…. though the exhaust placement upsets me, I liked the earlier versions.
*drools*
Always been a McLaren fan, the F1 LM, the SLR (even if it was a piece of junk…) and now this art. Not too complex, not too simple, gets down and dirty.
This thing’ll be a ripper.

I couldn’t agree more, I like that McLaren is not overly styled, they are built to be good sports car, not fashion statement. In some ways, that’s why i’ve always loved Porsche, the image not withstanding, its got simple styling and is engineering driven just like McLaren. I still like the Italian supercars, but i think they’re more about style and luxury nowadays.

I like attitude of Mclaren, they seem like a straight-to-business, balls-out race engineering company, where Ferrari comes across more like a fashion company building cars. I guess that’s just the Italian pretentiousness, the amount of celebrity hacks driving them or maybe Ive just been watching too much entourage..
