What does everyone think. Love the single piece monocell. Everything has been developed in house, including the engine. It looks nice but not the biggest fan of the back end, although i could imagine a few changes before final release in 2011. Overall, good to see a new car by McLaren, however i am still in love with the LM. |

Awesome.
Anything McLaren do is going to be good. Especially since they are now their own entity and are not restricted by a manufacturer like the SLR was. And it looks much better than the original McLaren F2 prototype a while back. http://futureauto.blogspot.com/2008/...claren-f2.html |

Beautiful, would be even better with central steering position and possibly still too heavy for the McLaren philosophy.

I remember seeing another version of the prototype with yet another back end, but I can't find it anywhere now....
From memory it was a bit of a mix between these two. |

The design is nothing special IMO, not unique or special in any way. Frank Stephenson (ex Ferrari) getting involved earlier might've helped. The F1 was ground breaking whereas this just follows what others have been doing.
A big N/A engine instead of turbos woulda been fitting too. The name, despite making sense, is stupid. Hopefully it gets a nickname that it will be named by. But I'm sure it will be an amazing car to drive, which in the end is the most important thing.

I'd have to agree with Jan, it looks a bit, old?
Performance Im sure will be great but overall design is a tad dated and boring.
