I would reserve judgement for now. Just remember the quality of the F1, the handling and poise; not to mention it's still the performance benchmark after all of this time.

Don't write it off due to styling at this point. A 600bhp McLaren is still, when all is said and done, a 600bhp McLaren.

Only my opinion of course. The fact that I'm right is just one of those things ;)

dont get me wrong, under the skin it's going to be an awesome piece of kit, but the F1 and SLR didnt look like any other cars, this one just looks way to much ferrari which is bad lol

Some more pictures and an article about it here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -road.html as our internet connection is to slow to watch the video :(

I like it but it's a shame they had to spoil it with gull wing doors :puke:

I have mine in carbon fibre black please. That is just gorgeous....mmmmmmmmm!! I bet it wipes the floor with the oppositon on all fronts.

I know a lot of people don't like the way the Koenigsegg looks either, again that does it for me :D
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:

Waiting now for another execution date!!:headhack:

Anyway lottery win or not, no-one will be getting one of these. If you listen to that first commentary, it's a carbon fibre tub but McLaren have broken the mould :eek: and I was all set to place an order.
