The Mclaren P1

Quote:
The wait is over – we are thrilled to officially announce that McLaren Automotive will be using the Paris Motor Show 2012 to preview our next generation ultimate supercar, the McLaren P1. Along with today’s release of the first ever photo...
graphs of our latest supercar, McLaren Automotive Managing Director Antony Sherriff, laid out his vision for the McLaren P1 “To make the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar ever made - not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit.” McLaren Automotive Executive Chairman Ron Dennis also hinted that The McLaren P1 is set to draw technological and spiritual inspiration from our Formula 1™ team – ‘The McLaren P1 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage,’ More details will be released on Thursday 27 September 2012 in Paris and we will be bringing you extensive coverage from the show, so be sure to check back regularly for all the latest news and exclusive content. Excited? We are…
What's do you guys think?

Reminds me of the Tommy Kaira cars combined.

Question is, how will it feel to drive considering their usual focus is driving dynamics through technology?

Looks outstanding and fair, but the rear appearance is a bit goofy.

Love the color though... Saw a MP4-12C at one of my my track events in the same color... Looked superb.

Hmm. Not sold on the aggressive design, although it is fitting for the brand.

My last Mclaren experience.

That black front bumper piece looks completely out of place on an orange car. All those random looking creases along the side aren't really speaking to me either...

It's like an F1 on acid.




But I kinda like it.
