    I like, see it on top gear last night? great machine, mclaren just changed the 5.5 ltr v8 from the old sl 55 into this machine. And see its breaks, they are incredible (brembo performance) and the lightweight carbon fibre shell. It seems to handle very well too for a front engined sports car.

    I think its around 700k here. I saw one in Paris in the Mercedes shop on the Champs Elysées. Not as nice looking as the mclaren F1 im my opinion.

    I'm not too keen on it tbh, no doubt the performance and all that is outrageously good and all but it looks to me as if about 10 teams of designers all had a go at it and instead of choosing one, they let them all have a go. Or something. I'll take a Carrera GT pleez.
