Im starting to like the looks of this car, took a while but now I think it really does have a distinct look among other sports cars. It has very clean lines and a crisp feel to it. One could say its almost unfinished looking if you compare it to other more flashy sports cars like the 458. The doors are pretty cool to just for the cool factor as well and its doesnt come off as "ricer." You can see the DNA from the first Mcclaren in this car although this almost seems like the boxster version that 911 is to Porsche. Although clearly this is a bonefide supercar and the original was a car almost like a Myth before the internet arrived. This seems like a car that will age well as well as long as its reliability holds up which all modern cars usually do nowadays. I would like to see how it drives : (. I cant wait to see there super duper car coming in the near distant future.

 

No idea why they would go to so much trouble.

The comment I am referring to comes from this article.

the cars probably have to be exactly as they will be in production.

 

this thread just got SOOOOOOOOOOO much better and it ALREADY ruled so much lol

 

Green looks great!

 

Does the front air intake have active aerodynamics like the 458? It looks like the grill works as a spoiler.

 

I've read through everything they have released so far and McLaren have made no mention of active aerodynamics in the front of the car.

For anyone who might be interested, there's an MP4-12C Launch Brochure listed on Ebay right now by a seller in Germany who I have no connection with. The price is a bit high, but I figured anyone paying attention here might be interested in the content. Click the pic below to view more:

what's with all the suits in the assembly line? where are all the guys in their white coats putting it together?

 

It was media day at the Technology Centre - they all came 'dressed to impress'.



Lab coats in the assembly area have been replaced by "The Men In Black".

I love the silver one in the brochure. They should've made the front end look just like that and used those wheels too!
