^If you want a car for looks the 458 is not the car to purchase.

Looks great and looks a bit like a GT3 sans wing.

Looks great! I really like the wilder styling over the standard MP4-12C. I wonder if perhaps this is a sneak peak at what will eventually be the "Scuderia" equivalent.

Good point. I spoke to a McLaren engineer during a test drive in the fall and he stated that the "automotive media" was more interested in comparisons to the 458 than they were. In fact, he suggested that the typical buyer may own both. They had the SLR in mind when the were looking at a benchmark. It didn't sound right to me but I guess they were simply trying to out-do themselves.

I like the HS front end but the rear doesn't look complete without tar GT3 spoiler

So was this information is correct? If so...I'm loving this car even more than I did before. I doubt we'll ever see one "tested" in the press, so I guess we'll never know the true performance potential of these 5 cars.

Any more pics of the Volcano Orange car by any chance?

It hasn't been verified yet but I hope to get some answers in the next 24 hours.

Those are all the photos I have seen so far.
