Bugger. I would've like to have seen them launch their Audi R8/Porsche 911 competitor before this, then shoot higher up with this (and I hope that it is as good/better than Porsches 918 looks to be)

the original F1 is by far my favorite car! the way it can still handle itself after 15years+ the only car that is better in speed/accel is the veyron

The McLaren is perhaps my favourite car. Gordon Murray is a legend! It was and still is an epic design wonderfully executed. It took the previous performance king, the F40, and went to another level without the rawness. The Veyron, has now only surpassed it a decade on. Incredible. I would still have it over the Veyron too!

the veyron is no doubt very impressive, but it isn't a very good looking car in my opinion. it looks fast and purposeful, but it's looks (like all other supercars, but the f1) are compromised by the need to go fast and fit into a certain size and aero shape
the mclaren has a look of it's own - and timeless beauty; and still was the greatest car of it's time and maybe even now. certainly it could only be beaten by the veyron at worst in my opinion (and it is the only mclaren i have ever liked), it is just an outstanding car in every respect - looks & performance. it looks like it was designed for beauty - and yet, it has performance that cannot be matched by many cars that were designed without beauty being a high priority |

McLaren even went to the effort to get Alpine to make the lightest speakers they could to help keep weight down. And the engine bay was insulated with real gold leaf sheeting.
Awesome. |
