We got shown the car yesterday at work and it looks fookin awesome!!! (of course i have to say that but hey ho lol)

The launch colour they chose is amazing!! and the pics dont do it justice (its similar to the last F1 althou they used house of colour for that and cost shit loads) and the work involved to get it where it is has been pretty amazing. We've actually done a few colours for the prototypes and it looks good in all of them

I've actually been working on the prototypes since last year/this year and its made a big change from doing slr's!!! and nice to see it finally come to shape, they have actually changed the front and back end and a few other bits from what we last saw and its deff a big improvement!!!.

As most places say its a 3.8 twin turbo lump running approx 600bhp, and unlike most claims ISNT the amg lump used in the SLRs etc, they wanted the whole car to be Mclaren designed, built at Mclaren by Mclaren

Now we just have to wait for the new factory to be built before it goes into mass production, their building a whole new place on the same site were at now but has taken a while to get planning permission so will be a while but gives us all job security for the future and should create a few more jobs too which will be good for everyone.
Nice One!!!

I do find the Carbon Fiber Cell to be interesting.

This will be a interesting competitor for the F458. Finally another super car with proper F1 Technology
