The front bumper has a pair of outlets for the radiator cooling in each side. The hood is also a bit different.

The hood looks to be the same to me? Maybe its the orange color? If you look closely, it looks like they are still there.

Agreed that the hood looks the same. I also noticed the windshield wiper and remember reading that they had some new tech that did not require the wiper. Time will tell...

They have the technology, but it can be applied in a road car.

The hood will be different - the openings on the concept hood are very much like the McLaren logo (upside down) with a sweeping arc on the outer edges. The production hood will have slightly smaller openings and there will be a bit of a swerve in that outer edge. Here's a comparison with help from MSpaint.





Also, the car will employ the wiperless technology, but that doesn't stop government regulations from requiring the wiper. You just might not need to use it at speed in the rain. I would imagine if the windscreen is covered in 200 mph bug splats the wiper will still come in handy.

The wheel arches seem to be a bit different, don't you think? The curve coming from the door looks a bit softened on its end..

It's just because the wrap stops short. The rest of the bodywork will be unchanged, bar very minor details.

Also, the taillights seen on the concept will carry through to production - ignore the ones we are seeing on the mules.

Unless you get to see it in person as some lucky folks have already, probably not until Geneva - March 5th and 6th are the Press Days.

Ah gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. Still has to be the most beautiful supercar to me. I love Aventador's but that is just stunning. I can only pray I get to see one in person.
