It was pretty good, except for the part with the 12C which was (unfortunately) exactly as was described. No driving, no timed lap, no details beyond what McLaren have said in previous press releases.

Here's a real review, with video from Edmunds - Insideline:

Here's the EVO online review which includes a video (not working for me yet) too. Their upcoming issue will go much further in depth on the car.

MotorTrend's turn at the wheel here. They start with the overview they published last September, then jump into the Portugal Press drive on page 4:

Lovely image here in the Ice Silver paint. Looks like Porsche's "Polar Silver" to me and might be the colour to have on the 12C?
