The first Mclaren is not exactly very bold either if you come to think about it.

Kind of like it. But I'd have to explain that she's NOT a Ferrari ans she's NOT a Lambo.

Subzero for me. As for the F1, it seems a bit discreet compare to other flamboyant italians but it grows on me more and more !

I'm going to say cool because how can 600 horsepower not be cool in such a light modern car (relatively speaking compared to its competitors).
The looks are seriously uncool though; too generic and bulbous.

It looks too bland and doesn't have the sense of occasion about it that the F1 did. It's going to be quick and probably a great car, but it just doesn't seem special enough.

Do you want to bet?
I think this car is going to be the benchmark.
I like it's looks, I like more it's carbon construction, it's specific output, it's technology.
Mark my words; this will be the class leader. 458 Italia? Near miss.

$100 says not a chance.
You saying this car i sgoing to be a 255mph, 0-62mph in 2s, 9s 1/4 mile 1.2G grip inducing car off the show room floor?
This car is a pathetic attempt by McLaren to rekindle the long lost glory days - too little car, too late tothe market.

Yeah, what ever, and I cannot understand all this talk of g force, it depends on too many vaiables to really describe a car's handling. How wide is the circle? How fast. It's about changing direction as well as holding a line.
And I'll bet you 100 sterlings

That is the most creative repackage of the hp/l argument I have ever seen.
