lol, they pimp the F1.

at a quarter the price, a V8 still very respectable. of course, it's finally a conventional 2 seater...

**chujwduperjadzi** · 09-09-2009, 08:53 PM

looks nice idneed

**invest7manager** · 09-09-2009, 09:03 PM

Nice tech, typically McLaren...

**Xutrsavf** · 09-09-2009, 09:09 PM

Its nice but...did they merge with ferrari or something? The front just looks too much like a ferrari design to me. *shrug*

Also I was hoping for another center seat driver.

**VYholden** · 09-09-2009, 09:34 PM

Wow, they didn't even make it exotic. It's like an exotic sports car hybrid or something. Exotic on the outsite, sporty on the inside. I love it. How much is 150,000 pounds converted into $AU or $US?

**occallExtet** · 09-09-2009, 09:41 PM

Somewhere in the ballpark of 300k.

**AlistDakisa** · 09-09-2009, 09:45 PM

Looks awesome. I want one!

xe.com... $287,000AUD $248,000USD

**GypeFeeshyTes** · 09-09-2009, 09:48 PM

So... when they stole the Ferrari information, was the 360 and 430 info also on the disk, because it sure looks like one.

Boring copy.

Well worth it if I was rich[thumbup]

**Auzuigcx** · 09-09-2009, 11:37 PM

I want one. Wonder if I can trade a kidney for one.

Try thinking before posting ...

Have you never heard the expression - "form follows function"?
It means that when something is designed to do a job, it tends to be a of a similar design to other things designed to do a similar job.

Maybe, but where is the Mclaren in it? Where is it's DNA?

Everyone can identify a Ferrari from a first look, same with Lambo, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Aston, TVR, Lotus etc.

Nothing in that car indicates it's a Mclaren, no sign of the F1 or the SLR in their at all.

Ask anyone to guess what car it is and they'd say Ferrari, no other make would get a mention.

**vodaPlaps** · 09-10-2009, 03:26 AM

steering wheel like an f1 car? what? looks nice, but not like a mclaren.

**favwebbb** · 09-10-2009, 03:46 AM

Paintwork is stunning, unfortunately the car is kinda boring otherwise. Seems like its more of a "volume" seller (for a super car) to appeal to the eco concious rich folk.

Exactly how I felt when I saw it.

I think it's supposed to be just that, Mclaren want to set themselves up as a serious Manufacturer rather than just a creator of occasional exotics and special editions.

**Thomaswhitee** · 09-10-2009, 06:15 AM

Looks alright... better in its camo gear. lol.

Apparently this is a first car of a few that Mc Laren want to put out.
