I still don't get the point of this car ... why is it different than an F430 or any other generic high-volume V8 mid-engine sportscar?

doesn't do it for me. I am holding out for the performance reviews but it reminds me of a discombobulated R8

^ Awesome, I hope it's still there in the morning, I really want to see this car in the flesh.

This looks much better with these wheels on it, I think it will start to grow on a lot of people. Or at least make some think twice before pulling the trigger on a 458.

Is it just me, or do these pics make it seem as if the car has no rear brake and indicator lights. They intergrated in so nicely.
Don't hold your breath, the first deliveries are only estimated to arrive here middle of or to the end of next year. A silly revealing this early IMO. Lead times are just a bit too long.

This thing better blow the Italian competition out of the water because I doubt they'll sell many units on looks alone.

Good to see McLaren back though.
