    It's either going to run like a lame dog or a thouroughbred. I reckon if it's fast, it will be really fast.

    The second opening on the top of the engine cover is for hydraulics cooling, confirmed by Tim Goss.

    The sidepods kind of look like some sort of mashup of the Benetton B195 and Ferrari F310's!

    It looks really interesting, can't wait to see what kinda of pace it has.

    Very elegant looking car from the side, those side pods make it dam ugly from the front though.

    I like it, very toned shape to it :D

    like it evolved from a formula ford with the sidepods only half there

    From the side it looks gorgeous but from the front it looks awful imo. Still,looks matter little if she's fastest on the track.

    I really like the look of the new car. Stands out form the rest and hopefully will be very far in front of the rest as well.:D

    It's only now looking at one of the pictures posted on the F1 site, that I really do feel that the new McLaren looks really weird: http://www.formula1.com/wi/597x478/sutton/2010/dcd1118fe105.jpg

    It all just looks so... missing!
