McLaren P1

Post by Eraser »

So what's the verdict on this? Some rumoured specs: 3.8-liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 963bhp. Theoretical top speed of 384 km/h (239 mph) with a price tag of 1.3 million USD (a little under 1 million euro, or 800.000 pound).
I like it. A tad too futuristic maybe, although I like the backend.

Woof Woof !, Jus not too sure about the front, the rest of the car looks very slick though, back end is ace !.

If it's the successor to the F1 shouldn't it be the fastest car in the world though ?, where's ya ambition McLaren !? :(

Sweet. Looks a bit like a production friendly version of the Mazda Furai.

It looks like someone took a photo of a normal sports car and then went bonkers with the liquify feature in Photoshop. I like the look of the old F1 better, nice clean lines. This one looks like it's made of blobs of black and orange goo. The back looks almost attractive, like they had a good idea for it on paper but then messed up on the execution.

Looks aside, I bet it performs like a curve hugging hideous little monster on the track.

It's a weird car, like something out of Ridge Racer.

The Sesto Elemento is a sexy car for sure. This new Mclaren is 50/50 for me. I like it obviously, but doesn't it look like a shoe to anyone else? Especially the backend.

I like it though, it's unique for sure but you'd never drive anything like that on the roads around here. The most expensive vehicle I've ever seen driven around here was an Audi R3.

Yep, that is sex on wheels right there. It's interesting how opinions differ though. I'd posted it on a car forum and lots of people think it's hideous. Amazing, they just don't have any taste. :p

Actually it does look a bit like that :olo:

Looks like some hyperactive asian got wild and crazy during the design stage, yikes.

The new Lambos look ugly as sin. I'd take a Diablo SV 6.0 over any of those rejected Transformers designs.

The New Lambos look cool, but only from a design standpoint. The coolness doesn't transfer like it does when you see someone in a DB5.

lol, was wondering why Astons ain't been mentioned, db5 is a stunning car but even the db9, just oozes class and makes these look like toys in comparison, no ?

i'd sell body parts for an xj220 n all, It's prolly the 1st car I remember wanting despite it having Mondeo door locks

Jaguar E-Type convertible. They don't make them like they used to.

Horses for courses really. Depends if you want to turn heads as you drive by and have people gawk at your car when it's parked (the Lambo), or have something more subtle and understated. Very broadly speaking, I'd imagine someone between 35 and 50 like George Clooney driving a DB5 since I see it as a sportscar for mature people, and anyone from this list (no homo) http://www.listal.com/list/hottest-actors-under-25

driving the ever so extrovert Lambo. Having said that, I'm 96 and I'd still have the Lambo. DB5 is gorgeous but not exciting or flashy enough for me.

I'd take the DB5 over most other cars in the world.

Put a DB5, a Ferarri 200 GT California and an E-Type Jag in front of me and I'd probably shit myself trying to choose which one I would want

There's a red Lambo SUV which is hideous along with Jay Leno, but skip to 7:39 for an eyeful of the Sesto Elemento. Reversing in that thing would be fun with no rear windows.

Reverse? It's faster to just take it another lap around the track and stop at the spot where you had wanted to reverse it to.
