McLaren's MP4-27 Front Nose

I noticed McLaren's new nose during testing...I really liked how their car is the only one this season w/o the ugly stepped nose that the other cars employ to meet new regulations. Check out their new nose.

Here's a side-by-side shot of the old and new nose courtesy of auto motor und sport...maybe they're prepping for their version of the Mercedes super drs?

Maybe they can get more downforce and front end grip with the new nose. That'd be my guess.

Nice find though. I hope to see McLaren do a little better this weekend.
