If they can repeat what they did with the McLaren F1, this car will be a world-beater. Shame they went turbo-charged though.

I’ll take mine in matte black, thank you.

Love how McLaren are using it’s F1 drivers as PR, reminds me of F60-Enzo and Shuey and also Senna and the No$ex from haonda all them years ago.

I thought the basic engine was from Volvo?

Still miss the centre drive position and 2 passengers, aka bench seat of sorts, but McLaren did mention that they have other models coming out, so maybe the F1 will be reborn some time in the future, maybe even a cheaper higher volume something McLaren too.

ie Perhaps a HyperSuper car, this MP4-12C and a lower priced high volume model?

Who is the importer in AUS, where will it be priced

Brilliant car, sure they are going to do a outstanding job, better than a Porsche or Lambo etc and Ferrari should be a bit worried…

MP4-12C sounds like a Internal code name, very emotionless.
