Cool vids and sweet dealership, but I gotta say the MP4-12C does absolutely nothing for me. The list of cars I'd get before putting one of those in the garage is infinite.

+1.

It's unoriginal/uninspiring looking.

Thanks for using my video! Much appreciated!

It was quite busy, me and my spotter friends expected it to be quite low key and quiet - until we saw the paparazzi lol!

I guess i'm odd man out but I absolutely love it. I think it's one of the most elegant supercars in recent memory. Nothing brash or outlandish, but simply graceful, beautiful lines.

The GT3 version looks like it eats baby kittens for breakfast too!

I love everything about the new McLaren except the interior. But like said before for the price I'd rather get something else.

I'd buy this over a 458 to support a British company, and hope McClaren can become a proper rival to Ferrari.

However they have definitely underestimated the importance of visual drama when it comes to designing a supercar - it just looks so normal

Having the exhausts in an unnatural place is pretty cool, very inventive. Furthermore, the performance is brilliant, bringing F1 tech to road cars is smart.

Good job McLaren!
