We need to wait until 9th of September when the car is expected to be launched. And McLaren will not attend to Frankfurt 2009.
BTW, interesting fact, the creator of the legendary F1 Gordon Murray is very sceptical about P11. Here is a part of his interview to CAR Magazine:
McLaren’s new P11 supercar ‘bound to disappoint’
Murray also dismissed the new McLaren P11 supercar as not that revolutionary. ‘It’s bound to disappoint,’ said the F1’s designer. ‘There’s no point in trying to outdo the F1, they’ll never do it. The world has moved on and anyone who thinks the market for Gallardo-type cars is going to bounce back to levels of two or three years ago is dreaming.’
While insisting he’s had no special access to the P11 project, he still has strong opinions on the new McLaren that will finally be shown in the next few days. ‘From what I’ve heard, McLaren has gone back to producing a big car with a heavy engine. People will inevitably see it as a successor to the F1 but I can’t see any way in which people aren’t going to be disappointed. They’ve just taken the wrong route for it. That’s a shame.’
