No way that car stays close to the MP. I don't even think the new one will.

Great car, drives great, reliability not really proven yet, still too flashy to daily drive though. A Turbo S can be your only car, whereas the McLaren would likely need to be your 2nd car, occasionally used unless you live / work in a high profile area or anywhere in Dubai lol.

The mclaren is another car. I own a 458 italia and a 12c spider, the car is out of this world, it is DEAD fast and fun to drive. and it is the perfect daily drive supercar (been driving it almost 4 or 5 times a week) without any problems

MP runs a very fast stock 1/4 and its 3.8L TT V8 @620hp I had a Turbo S but the MP should walk it every time.

It is my impression that the MP's super smooth and comfortable ride made it feel no faster than the 458 or TTS. I tracked them in the same day and even though I know the MP is the fastest it felt the opposite. The instructors said the MP is a dangerous car since you are going much faster than you feel you are, and usually they enter the corners faster than then think. Its like my GT2 feels much faster than my friends TTS, but when we race we are even. The TTS suspension and chasis hide the feeling of speed more than the GT2.

Do you have this feeling also?
