I can't wait for an F1 successor, not that I'm likely ever able to afford it, it'll be nice to drool over. But performance benchmarks aside, I won't be drooling over the new one if it looks like this render.

Likely performance benchmarks aside, the Original F1 still looks best.
Also, performance benchmarks aside, Zonda F > Huayara, in my opinion.

Just saying. Then again, I preferred the look of the last Murci to the Aventador, but the more I see it, that new Lambo is really starting to grow on me......

By the way, I think Macca would have a hard time keeping up with demand if they made a modern F1 with the looks of the original.......

Face it, that thing looks awful and I can only pray that whatever the final product is looks anything better than this.
Agreed

That thing is hideous.

It looks like a cartoon car. I kind of expect Roger Rabbit to jump out of it.

I hope it looks nothing like that.

If they are going at "performance to eclipse every other hypercar" they should look MUCH farther then Veyron, 918 and Enzo successor. Tuatara, Venom GT and Agera R are much higher rivals. I think the idea of making a car that is both the top speed king AND track king has long since been possible. The F1 was it. Now with cars like Tuatara and Radical/Caparo doing both is impossible.

I'm cranky and don't like it.
Who the **** are you to tell me what I should think of the car? If I may speak for myself, I think it looks pretty darn good. Considering that the final production car will likely be refined from this draft, I have high hopes.

I thought Mc were going to bring out their 911 competitor before the all out beast…

For the next gen F1 to be quicker than the Tuatara or the Agera R it's going to take a lot of horsepower and technology. I just hope this new car will be a true successor to the F1 and really compete with the top hypercars for years to come.
