Didn't know if anyone had seen this yet....I do like the camouflage wrap; it's lots of race tracks all put together.

McLaren rolled out the road going test model, the one featured in the video, for the launch of their 2013 Formula 1 entry today. Looked and sounded damn good.

haha i hope the headlights don't make that sound whenever you turn them on
it's a good looking car (except the wing looks funky), and the wrap design is cool

I highly doubt that the headlights actually make that sound.

I know, I was joking. Awful sound, I don't think it had the intended effect

I have a feeling it's typical McLaren "let's attempt to make an already cool product cool" mentality...it nearly never works.

Uggghh. I take back anything bad I might have ever said about this car. This is perfect. Best looking super car since the Carrera GT in my opinion

Think maybe they could have gotten a few more swoops in there somehow? Too cluttered, no body lines. Looks like a kit car with an aftermarket body kit.
Sorry.

I honestly don't think any of the new gen of hypercars look that great, with the exception of the Huayra.
Ferrari really bombed the LaF in the looks department. I think it's crazy that they all introduced the cars so early into the development stages. Ferrari is having issues getting the car EU crash test certified. McLaren is hiding Ring activity, and Porsche is taking their sweet time.

Then by that definition, they're double super cars.
2 clutches, just not actuated the way a clutch should be.

According to the photo properties it says RX7 kit. It came up on google by searching "hideous body kits".

It is a little busy. My opinion was really changed when I saw some of the closeups in this video. But I really love it in black, maybe because it hides some of those lines

At least they got it right with the search parameters.

I'm sure quite a few of you have seen this, but I thought I would post it here.
