ooo. wonder if the engine is a joint project with BMW.

godwin 09-08-2009 06:46 PM
no Mclaren decided to build the engine themselves..

It is totally different from NSX.. eg engine is longitudinal vs transverse.

hahah.. well after sleeping with BMW and Mercedes, of course they'll build it themselves :P

AVS_Racing 09-08-2009 06:55 PM
lol but it looks pretty good for not making cars for how many years? and the front lights does look nsx ish

Wow you can really see the mclaren F1 influence in the style, but a bit too much like every supercar out there cause they all have a bit of that LOL :thumbsup: either way!

J____ 09-08-2009 07:51 PM
the car's shell looks pretty much identical to the ferrari italia.. or is that just me? Sexy as hell non the less.

Timpo 09-08-2009 07:52 PM
The McLaren F1 is whole a lot better.

MDMA 09-08-2009 07:56 PM
thank god its not a 1 seater

jmvdesign 09-08-2009 08:01 PM
this is actually a disappointment. the design is arguably soft and less aggressive compared to the original. it will definitely look outdated real fast.

here's one of the speculative renderings that came out from a magazine several years ago:

The McLaren F1 was 3 seater if that's what you're reffering to.

I don't think this is supposed to be anywhere near the F1 league. That was a money losing project, this car will compete with the 458 and actually attempt to make some money for McLaren.

Why would it be a one-seater? What other supercar has ever been a one-seater?

StylinRed 09-08-2009 08:29 PM
think he meant 1 seat cockpit with passengers in the rear

Eww you could've told me that was a korean supercar and I would've believed you...

Dinan3 09-08-2009 08:33 PM
The old Mclaren F1 looks better than this.

impactX 09-08-2009 08:42 PM
This is Ron Dennis' road car division's legacy after he's forced to step down from the race division.

AVS_Racing 09-08-2009 08:43 PM
y are u guys comparing it to the old mclaren, they arent even on the same level, this is only the entry level designed to compete with 458, and gallardos

Mugen EvOlutioN 09-08-2009 08:43 PM

funny you say that because it's the other way around. the new mclaren actually feels like it's korean designed.

!Aznboi128 09-09-2009 11:24 AM
