I love the way this car looks. McLaren definitely raised the bar as it looks like nothing on the road. My only complaint, which is the same one I had with the AM one-77, is that I don't like how the end of the headlights wraps around the intake duct. It just doesn't look right to me.

Those are the real brakes - do not underestimate them.

The mirror finish is caused by heat - this 'concept' is a runner.

Ugly.
And Why is someone "suprised" about Mclaren's choice of brakes. Unless you're an engineer for Porsche, Ferrari, etc. I think you should step away and realise they know more than most of us.

Saw it today... boooorrring..















THIS is INSANE, this car rips appart anything i've seen before, its a pure rawness synergy about form follow function, a pure diamond.

And it's so small, it adds to the fury, no words can describe it.

The brakes are the shit !! real for sure and over the top not... over the sky technology....

I'm litterally blown away !

Now on the bad... I checked everything before the leave... but my wife had some picture to save from the camera... then started taking pics there and 3 pics later no more memory ???

SHE FORGOT TO PUT BACK THE MEMORY CARD !!!!!!!!!! Faaaaaaaaaaak !

You go to the biggest auto salon of the world and you have no more than 10 pics at the lowest setting !!!
Now to check the cam memory, all is ****ed so bad that it seem taken with a cellphone from 5 years ago !!

I love you honey


you can put your head in it !



space shuttle brakes !

Bonus // downforce



I'll check if I have time to come back, cause i'm really gutted for now.
