Absolutely stunning piece of an automotive art. Can't I would take it over the F150, but as an achievement of both passion and engineering this car is absolutely incredible. And absolutely agree with Peloton - some tend to underestimate McLaren and the hard work of everyone involved in the development of both MP4 and P1.
absolutely agree !

I wish I really was in a position to order one. Like many others, I'm just a fan of this one.
On second thought, my fantasy P1 would be all bare carbon fiber with no paint. That is, if manufacturers have solved the problem of carbon fiber "yellowing" - issues even Porsche had with the CGT.
I'd ask if someone could photoshop the picture above that WindSpeed posted, but I bet thats not easy to do in carbon. Just dreamin'...

Oh man I just love that car! In my opinion it truly excels the LaFerrari by far. It just looks so nice, has such an appealing flow in its design...something really new, that we haven't seen yet but not as over the top (and plain ugly) as the Lambo Veneno. I can't wait to see it on the track and beat the Ferrari...like the MP 4-12C did
