Here's some more photos McLaren MP4-12C - First Look - Sky Motoring looks very nice, and yes Richy it is very Ferrari 360/430 isn't it! thought exactly the same when I saw it, very cool, and good price range at £150,000 obviously not tackling the Veyron after it stole the McLaren F1 crown

I think the Ferrari 458 Italiano is much better looking car... As Jeremy Clarkson said in TG it will be fantastic to drive too

Btw concerning the Ferrari look of the car in the article Craig posted:

The vision, led my ex-F1 supremo Ron Dennis, is to turn McLaren into the British Ferrari.

Hmmmm...... good for you, Z, that is "cheap" considering the technology..... and a sharp looking car too.

$150K is 3 times what I paid for my house so I can't justify it myself. (But, hey! I got a house paid for

)

sarcasm is hard to get across on a forum

Don't think id pay 150k for a car, ever. Have to say though compared to some, its not an insane amount.

Tyrsonswood · Sep 10, 2009, 09:27 PM

It's not an insane price if you're playing in that field.............

Oh, and I figured it was sarcasm, but who knows around here.

I don't think Ferrari could be pissed off by this car. I agree that the 458 Italia looks much better.

By the way Lamborghini Reventon Roadster looks good too. Like beauty and the beast, compared to the 458

Judas · Sep 12, 2009, 06:03 PM

my father would LOVE that lamby...... I'm a fan of the square cut sharp edges and he's even more so..

i don't mind the blends and whatnot... but that lamby looks damn good
