Certainly don't like the name but i understand why. I am sure it will be like any other McLaren, insanely fast. Just was hoping for a bit more, i guess March will be the time when the BP23 is released. That's supposed to give the AMG One a run for its money.

Is there a way of resizing the photos?
It makes the text unreadable for me. Awesome looking.

I'm astounded by the size of those brakes...

Not the most attractive thing that's for sure, especially the rear wing. But this would be insanely fast on a track.
The quality of McLaren's carbon fibre is amazing, not a thread out of place anywhere. |

I think I’m becoming desensitised......
So many new Hypercars have broken cover in last 12 months. This just doesn’t seem to have enough power. As a tribute to Senna I would have thought they would have turned the dial up to 11 and take no prisoners.

Listened to a few videos onboard at Silverstone etc- and I thought I know that sound- sounds so much like a large Honda Vtec being driven hard.
Pretty disappointing sound for a 4 litre v8. Despite the handling and braking looking incredible- the sound inside is just meh,,,

Maybe I'm against the grain but I do not think it looks that bad.

The rear wing is slightly exaggerated.
Expect to see these coming to an Commo Executive or Camry in the near future.

I'd expect the wing to cost more than a commodore lol, at least the value of the car would go up. What you cannot see in the pics is all the gaps, and tunnels the car has to funnel and send air in various places. It is a masterpiece.
