Better looks then the MP4-12C

McLaren P1

Oh yes, that's much better. Definite hints of F1 about that too, which is nice.

I think it looks awkward and not in a good way like a Pagani Huayra. It reminds me of a Tommy Kaira ZZ-S and that's not a good thing. Too low around the front of the doors, which makes the cockpit bubble look too big and out of proportion. I also don't like the way the rear haunches slope away after the rear wheels.

I was expecting it to be more elegant. The MP4-12C was accused of being too conservative, but it has a certain undersated classiness. The P1 looks too fussy in comparison, like it's the design of a mildly talented 14 year old. It doesn't even look like it's from the same company as the MP4-12C. A bit of a mistake when you're trying to build a brand.

Apparently, the car looks much better in the metal/carbon fibre, but in my humble opinion, it needs to.

I like it. A lot!

But probably falls into the "too difficult to get into with dignity" for someone of my age and build Still, not a problem I'll be faced with.

That extended rear wing looks like some prepubescent teens wet dream. Still it should help its owner stick to the national speed limit, oh the shame of seeing that pop up behind you.

Official Pics .....That front end is damn fugly though
I'm sure its an amazing car but to me theres hardly any emotion in the design. A slight pander to the old F1 with the overhead engine scoop but its mostly scientific only. Best bit are the rear lights!

I bet it won't do 30mpg on the commute!

I love it. If I was 12 then I would definitely have a poster of it on my bedroom wall.

If it's a hybrid, it ought to. One of the points it makes is that the electric motors will enable it to enter ZE zones. Just don't have a long commute or you'll need a shed-load of AAA's.
