The SLR was just the first shot: Mercedes-Benz and McLaren are beyond planning stages for a mid-engine, V8-powered supercar with sights set on Ferrari’s 360 Modena and Ford’s GT. The project car—though only in its formative stage—has a dedicated group looking into its engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing feasibility, and is codenamed P8. If given approval in the coming months, P8, which would slot between the robust SL65 AMG and the SLR McLaren, could be on the streets testing by late 2006 and in showrooms by late 2007.

Looks ok to me, but it reminds me of a Veyron though eh!?

Chaos in 1983!

These datas are worse than the SLR's....I don't think that McLaren will do a

"weaker and slower" supercar than the SLR....but for sure it will be

amazing!!!
