wooo so many reveals!!! nsx rebirth!!

[maxx]

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

[godwin]

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]

lol but it looks pretty good for not making cars for how many years? and the front lights does look nsx ish

[ilvtofu]

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____]

the car's shell looks pretty much identical to the ferrari italia.. or is that just me? Sexy as hell non the less.

[Timpo]

The McLaren F1 is whole a lot better.

[MDMA]

thank god its not a 1 seater

[jmvdesign]

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 it will definitely look outdated real fast.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.

[Amaru]

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.

thank god its not a 1 seater

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

[StylinRed]

think he meant 1 seat cockpit with passengers in the rear

duh



it looks ugly btw

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

[Dinan3]

The old Mclaren F1 looks better than this.

[impactX]

This is Ron Dennis' road car division's legacy after he's forced to step down from the race division.

[AVS_Racing]

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]

damn thats hot


why did McLaren stop making super cars for such long periuod of time? its been wat? almost 15 years? 96 was the last one?

[jmvdesign]

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

thx for correcting, i rmb seeing one on funkflex show that used to come on spike, it was a episdoe on wyclefs cars and he had a f1, he was sittin in the middle and i rmb flex squeezing in beside him lookd really awkward, so does it have 3 seatbelts ?

^ interestingggggggg

[thumper]

how hard is it to climb over the side sill and the passenger seat to get into the middle?

[!Aznboi128]

um lines are soft and smooth .... needs to be hard like a lambo

[1exotic]

I bet that will look nice in person, love the design.

[shenmecar]

Wow I like it, if the production model is anything like that. Then hot damn!

[ajax]

Its so plain! might as well be a hyundai!

[skyxx]
