If you have any technical questions about the car, I'm going to the presentation and tour of the factory on Thursday so can get them answered for you?

 

I'm curious to hear if they have nailed down a figure for production curb weight (earlier they mentioned a dry weight of 2,866 lbs) and also whether the earlier numbers they provided for HP and TQ are still accurate. They were 592 and 443 respectively when the car was first unveiled.

Also any photos you are able to take of the McLaren F1s they have on display at the MTC would be great to see.

Here's VP9 arriving at the Goodwood Festival yesterday. Jenson and Lewis will take turns running this one up the hill over the weekend.

WOW, it looks amazing in papaya orange. That's how I'd want mine

 

Looking forward to seeing this at Goodwood tomorrow being giving some stick up the hill by JB and LH. Will be good to hear how it sounds

I'm very interested in seeing some real world facts and figures in the near future. I have a feeling records will be shattered here and there.

But I have to be honest and say that it isn't an overly beautiful looker at this point. It's a little too tame and sort of Asian looking from certain angles. Then again, the F1 wasn't drop dead gorgeous either, until it became known that it was the most bad arse thing ever and ever to exist. At that point, who cares how it looks . . .
