This is supposedly one of their "volume" cars, and they will be releasing several more models in the coming years as well, hoping to push 4,000 units per year.

meh. I think I like the original McLaren F1 better. Especially the LM street version.

It's a cool looking car, and impressive numbers for sure.

If it's going to shift for me though, why do I need a 4 inch tachometer staring me straight in the face?

Oh hells yes, that is hot!

Which reminds me, the McClaren F1 is STILL a BAMF of a car.

The McLaren F1 is one of my all-time favorites. This car has a very strong family resemblance, especially in the profile shot. I also see cues from the F430. I applaud the use of turbos.

Hmmm the driver isn't in the middle this time around. Clearly the goal wasn't to build the ultimate street legal super car again.
