Ok I've just seen a front 3/4 view on the auto car website and it's not as bad as I feared. It's certainly not a pretty car, but I think the side view does it no favours.

it looks really good except for the rear wing supports, in fact the whole wing looks wrong..

MissChief · 10 Dec 2017 at 00:10

From an engineering viewpoint it's astonishing, especially the aerodynamics around the front bumper and wheels.

Jokester · 10 Dec 2017 at 00:14

Looks awesome from the rear.

that last photo.....flipping heck.
the wing and supports are way too bulky, it looks clumsy and crude, but the body looks great

BUT my guess is it'll look damned good if you saw it in real life

All McLarens look better in the flesh but that side profile is unforgivable. Not sure what to make of McLaren as a manufacturer frankly, can't work them out and why all their cars seem to **** themselves (P1 aside) as soon as you drive them off the forecourt.

I remember watching a documentary about the development of the spitfire and they had a quote from a chap which went along the lines of "if it looks like it flies good it probably does"

Make of that quote what you will of that car

Horrible, glass lower door wtf. How could they go from the P1 to that.

Well it makes a Lamborghini look rather lacklustre by comparison.

The '93 McLaren Roadcar is a thing of understated beauty. Whereas this car; a bit gaudy. It will turn up in Knightsbridge in the summer, probably gold plated.

Jesus wept. Looks not even a mother could love. Probably goes like absolute stink tho. R8 repalcement @Housey?

Honestly looks like some random 80s prototype from the original Gran Turismo on PS.

Unless Lamborghini start producing these

5th attempt, i still cant get the rear wing looking right, a normal wing doesn't suit the design at all, it needs something like this below, but the bubble roof shape looks wrong as well

Thekwango · 10 Dec 2017 at 02:42

hold on, a lower glass door. so when I scratching my nuts while driving this people will see!? thanks but no thanks

Its for the voyeurs out there. For when you have a female passenger.

It’s trying to hard.

Looks like they’ve been getting tips from turbotoaster.
