I didn't like it at Geneva. Looked messy and weird.
Then I saw it flying up the hill at Goodwood and my mind was changed. Very cool. But they have to come a long way to shed some of the clinical emotionless that reeks from the interior and the brand IMO

Been in one didn't move, though
Incredible car. Needs to be seen up close to be fully appreciated!

Saw one last weekend blasting up the M5, must have been a prototype from US testing as the brake lights were the indicators. They come with a rather nice key box too

I've never been so exciting about a car in all my life to be honest. But the fact they won't release the nurburgring lap time annoys me highly.

Former user on here worked for their race team on the MP12C GT3. Now works in Dubai working on a Ferrari 458 atm.
Also ex school mates a welder there.
From what I gather, working for McLaren isn't all that great. But thats just chit chat.

Yup, Bradders. He's got a hard life...
Not jealous of his job at all.
