Flat out ugly. I don't care how fast it is. I wouldn't pay this kind of money for a car I find completely visually unappealing.

Looks like an FRS from the front and that flat black makes it look so freaking cheap and shitty lol.

McLaren Confirms New 4.0lt Engine For 650S Successor, Will Hit Quarter Mile In Low 10



Quote:
Powered by a new twin-turbocharged V8, the second-generation McLaren Super Series will hit a standing 1/4 mile in the low 10s.

Making its official debut on March 7th at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show, the all-new Super Series range from McLaren will blur the lines between supercars and hypercars.

Drivers will be able to hit 200 km/h (124 mph) from a standstill in just 7.8 seconds, and cover a standing quarter mile in 10.3 seconds, with the help of a crisp-sounding 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, featuring engine bay illumination as part of the "welcome sequence" upon vehicle unlocking.

"The new 4.0-litre M840T is an outstanding engine powering an exceptional supercar capable of covering a standing quarter mile in 10.3 seconds," said McLaren Super Series vehicle line director, Haydn Baker. "Power, torque and throttle response are all significantly enhanced compared to the first-generation Super Series, yet with fuel efficiency and emissions also notably improved."

Compared to previous designs, the ultra-low inertia, twin-scroll turbochargers fitted to the new M840T engine, spool up more rapidly, delivering reduced turbo lag and a quicker throttle response.

Also, while the exhaust note has been carefully balanced to fit the new engine's performance credentials, buyers can still order an optional sports exhaust.

We'll find out more about the second-generation McLaren Super Series on March 7 in Geneva.

New McLaren 720S Leaked Photo Shows 720HP Supercar In All Its Orange Glory



Quote:
A leaked image has just surfaced online providing us with our first proper view of the upcoming McLaren 720S before the Geneva Motor Show.

Originally published (but since deleted) by Bloomberg, this picture shows off the tail of the 720S for the very first time while also confirming its long-rumored name. Additionally, it provides a glimpse at the supercar’s overhauled interior.

At the rear, McLaren has taken inspiration from the 675LT, P1 and Sports Series to create a flowing and characterful design that looks much more modern than the 650S this car replaces. It incorporates thin LED taillights, a large retractable rear wing/air brake and an aggressive rear diffuser.

Another interesting take away from this image is that the 720S appears to have quite a bit of luggage space, just like the 570GT. It includes a large glass rear compartment which appears to only hide part of the engine, suggesting that there may be some storage space behind the seats.

Inside, the 720S’ advanced rotating instrument cluster is visible as is an extensively redesigned center console, infotainment system and touchscreen.

Beyond its updated design, we already know that the McLaren 720S will debut a brand new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine delivering, as the name suggests, 720 hp. That should be more than enough for it to show the Lamborghini Aventador SV a thing or two while also rivalling the more powerful but much heavier Ferrari 812 Superfast.

I think the point is for a little more visibility, and just cleaning up that area. Personally, I think it looks good folded.

Such a clean design and the doors are a mix of butterfly and gullwings - Gorgeous! Makes the 488 look cheap with its ridiculous vents and is surely going to outclass it by every performance metric. Haters gonna hate, McLaren gonna dominate! I had to choose the Viper over a CPO 12C because it was getting discontinued this year but I want my next car to be a McLaren 570S in orange or green.
