Yes yes yes!!! That should be the default color for all their cars in all their promo. I wouldn't want a McLaren in any other color.

Its that stupid window in the door and the rear wing that ruin it to my eye. No doubt the rear wing is hugely functional, but it's so excessively 'bulky'. With ultra strong esoteric materials today could it have not been made less obtrusive?

...and where the hell is the new Ford GT? I haven't seen a single real world performance metric for that thing and it has been out how long now?

Ferrari sounds the best and I don't think anyone will be able to challenge them in that regard

I was playing around with the 720S configurator earlier - they've now added a factory Titanium harness bar option. Now makes the bucket seats an even more compelling option.

EDIT: Looks like they've taken it off the US site now. Wish more OEMs would follow BMW's lead.

I was pleased to see this, looking forward to more details when you get this up and running.

New engine, new importer, new pricing etc.

We are officially selling/ servicing them out of my Austin race shop.

Im glad that a McLaren dealer is finally opening in my city. Maybe I can buy a car from CJ and have it serviced here when needed.
