new Mclaren introduced March 7, 2017

You actually can see most of the general lines (flowing from front fender to window all the way to rear fender). That's the general proportioning that I'm referencing when saying the photo from Instagram is not representative. The side intakes and front wheel air exits are just detail features, the main body lines are all there to see

 

You actually can't because they "taped" the section where the rear window meets the rear quarter panel and because of that what you are looking at is very deceiving to your eye, anyway let's move on, we will see proper photos soon enough.

Forgot to add this, which helps the visualization,

No camo or panels here but yes, let's wait for press shots

Shall we play a game here. Who has ACTUALLY seen the fcuking thing?

Fugly...at least from the pic. Hope it's better looking in person. If not, LT looks way better.

Haven't seen the car in real.

 

Not too sure about the distortion part. Look at the rear wheel, see how circular it is? And look at the guy holding a camera on the far left, he looks quite "normal". Had it been a fish-eye lens, the rear wheel would look like a kidney bean and the guy on the left will appear curved like an open bracket " ( ". The only possible "distortion" is perspective control but it won't be night & day different. This car is what it appears to be.

 

Maybe it's just me but based on the same pic and some spy shots. Would one say that McLaren is perhaps "drawing inspiration" from Pagani?

Roofline definitely has similarity to the Pagani. Rear fender arch from the 458. Side of the car from the 95 F1 GTR. Front and rear relatively unique. Some might say Koeniggsegg influence on the front

So based on that, it's primarily a mixed bag of "borrowed" design then? If so, I would consider that a massive failure.

I won't say if it does or does not come all together styling wise until I've seen it. But the F1 LM influence is undeniable. Heard a rumor that the press photo package has a picture of the 720S and F1 LM side by side

Exactly what I am referring to. APB. Can you confirm you have actually seen it.

Strange how quiet APB has gone...

I've seen it, front looks like a Huayra, side is a copy of the LaF and the rear looks like a 570

Overall when you first see it, you do think it looks very Pagani like

 

I was impressed with the look and the performance figures are great for an "entry" level car

 

They have also really improved the feel of the interior

 

 

They didn't really explain it but the car has lots a trick electronics where you can effectively design your own TC/suspension settings rather than using standard modes

sounds positive. this would be considered mclaren's "mid-level" exotic with the 570 series being the entry level I believe.

Have heard rumors that the performance punches significantly above the supercar level into the hypercar realm. Can you confirm if that's the case? Lots of talk that it is seconds a lap faster than a 675LT

The rear is an improvement over the 570's butterfly looking taillights. But still way behind the P1 and 675.

It looks promising in the latest spy shots, they completely changed the design language from the 650S, I think McLaren is still looking for its groove.

Still looks "buggy" to me

It is hilarious to me how this forum seems to shit over any new car introduction . . . then make peace with it . . . then come to love it . . . without getting one due to depreciation

 

At least we are consistent.

0-200km/h in 7.8 seconds.

 

And to quote people when the huracan first came out, this is only the base model.

More importantly, the new motor had twin scroll turbos for reduced lag. It's mentioned that the car has more torque as well

Id be shocked if it wasnt a 9.90 1/4 mile car out the box.

I think autocar said 10.30

The official time for the 650S spider was 10.6 seconds. It has done 10.3. The factory official time is super conservative. This car will do 10 flat
