Nice specs on the car. I hope that's just an artist's guess/rendering because it looks like shit.
|
One of the most unoriginal and boring designs.
What a shame! |
Looks great!(Though looks a bit like a Saleen rip off) Better than anything Ferrari is offering at the moment or near future. The one thing that bugs me is this.... Why the hell dont they name these cars. At this rate my grandson will have a poster of the "Lamborghini 7823-4587GHT488" on his wall

^I didn't click on the picture originally and read the release. OMG!!! That looks like shit. :ohmy::laugh: That looks like something a small manufacturer like Noble would make. It looks so generic...hell, the new Noble M600 looks better.

I just noticed something else it looks like.....

|
this looks like an Ascari... oh wait, someone already noticed
hopefully it isn't a stripped down uncomfortable piece of junk like the Ascari, hopefully it will not be priced like a malibu condo, WTF? the original F1 went for a million bucks on its heyday, and now it tips the scales at over 1.8 cools |
Maybe it really is an Ascari chassis with Mclaren "tuning" + engine
|
Not what I was expecting :( I'll take a 458 or GT2 over that any day.

This is a bigger disappointment lookwise than the Merc SLS. What a tacky interior to match the generic bulbous exterior. |
it just doesn't look special enough...everything about its exterior and interior is average (and i'm sure that steering wheel is a retouched mercedes unit).
the only thing that will save it is its performance...in many ways mclaren are a victim of their own success, the F1 set the benchmark so high up, that even they are struggling to make something better. |

Ha, Looks like I was spot on with my comment about unoriginal design! Quote:
My biggest question is tp know how much involvement/say did Gordon Muray have in this project! |
