More, but we should talk about this on the Porsche GT thread.

I'm not hiding anything, trust me. And as I said, I just wanted us to compare both cars together. Because I'm a BIG McLaren "FAN", and this car makes me worry a lot about the P12, because I'm sure that it will be a stunning looking car, and I simply don't want it to look any better than the P12. its performance will be of course astonishingly amazing (typical Porsche), plus the electric motors which make it even faster and faster on straight lines, despite the fact that it will weigh way more than either the P12 or the F70

So am I - I am hoping that Ron is bluffing and that although they say they are not focused on top speed I am hoping they will break some records

I live in hope!

Well this is what I think after seeing pics from car and driver, its radicle in design but with hints of the F1 so I think the doors may be hinged at the roof and have a ram air duct then this would make scenes with the 5 litre NA V8 700hp Ricardo engine and maybe 100-200 hp kers or just try and keep kerb weight closer to 1000kg. Also maybe active aero front and rear And is defeniatly longer in the wheel base with lots going on the back end aero, looks like a air brake first then two flaps behind it like on the huayra with rectangular holes either side of the exhaust. Also air ducts of some sort on the tops of the rear quarters as the fabric is perforated.

It's the 20th anniversary Of the launch of the f1 in Monaco the end of may and there are 20 lucky owners been invited to drive a secret route near Italy and arrive in Monaco in convoy for the unvalling of the new p12 mega mclaren, this also coincides with the Monaco GP.

Let me know what you think?

DoS - is that all speculation or is it informed by a source?

I think you are off base on this bit of speculation. The timing of the two doesn't work how you have suggested.

Ok maybe not the p12 launch but the 20 car anniversary drive is a definite.
