those are some amazing statistics.. would love to see what the 200-9 in under 5 secs feels like.. i imagine similar to getting your face mauled off by a savage dog...

i've always loved the MF1.. i like their approach.. low weight, minimal bullshit, brutally fast...

as opposed to the 2 ton veyron..with all the bling interior etc..

i bet a lot of people will write it off because it doesnt top the veyron top speed.. which is a shame..

i gotta say im a little dissapointed that they ditched the single seat central driving position.. but meh..

cant wait to get home and see the vid with sound.. (bloody work computer)

Yeah, its a pleasant change from the usual supercar 'style'. I remember an article where the chief designer was interviewed, a pom, and from the outset it was function first, and style second, and look at the result!

How much?

"Always"?

Their second ever car, as I recall, or are you counting their marketing specials for Mercedes? What did they do directly other than the F1?

The new McLaren is pretty cool, definately getting back to the right stuff. If raj's comment 150k pounds for the mclaren then thats quite a good price in comparison to others out there not to mention it will whip their ass as there are few that match the power and even fewer that are as light.

That porsche is hilarious, I saw an article about it a while ago. I love the 3L/100km fuel economy haha but god damn its expensive, you'd be better off money wise to just pay for supercar amounts of fuel haha.

These two videos are quite a bit long but worth watching every minute of the press conference. God I fell in love with this car. Only thing now is to figure out how to earn enough to pay for one.
