Compare that to an aston, or even the LF-A and it doesn't really look special enough (for some reason it keeps looking like a cross between a ferrari 360 and an R8 but no idea why!).
Although news of this and the SLS (which is also gorgeous) being a pure Mercedes is only fuelling my impression that Mercedes might be gearing up to split from McLaren and go it alone........

I was a bit disappointed when I saw that to be honest, looks like a generic british sports car, not bad looking but nothing exciting.

29-07-2016, 11:20 AM #5I agree with you Parthiban, I'm not over-enamoured with the looks. Then again, I was never that keen on the look of the Mclaren F1 either. I wouldn't say no to either of them, of course

I'd agree with that too, the original F1 definitely looked more radical in 1992 than this does today, but lookswise I always preferred the XJ220 which I still think looks amazing :drool:

29-07-2016, 10:11 PM #8I still bet it's going to be an amazing drive though. And the Mclaren name will help sell it too, of course.

Agree though, I'm sure it'll be something special to drive, which will probably make the outside irrelevant :biggrin:

I wish it didn't look like a usual British "built in a shed" special - I think Noble's are great and have total respect for what they create, but McLaren should be on a whole different level.
