I'm in love. I'll likely put my name on the list.

It's for the NSX - it's their estimate at the moment.

Will see when the official specs are released.

3100 is what the P1 weighs and the LaFerrari is about 3200. Only the 918 is significantly more at 3600+ but that's owing in part to its AWD system.

Well, If this doesn't prove to me that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, nothing does. But comparing this to the ford GT?... Reaaaallly??!?!!!!!
Agree 100%.

I have heard weight is 3,500+ pounds. Makes sense with the aluminum structure (not a CF tub) e-motors and battery packs. Combined 550+ HP will still have it haulin' *** but not quite in the McLaren 3100 lb., 625-650 HP league.

I am sorry but the styling just does not do it or me. Looks like an R8 with a touch of McLaren.

Now- I may beg to differ when I see it live because pictures sometimes can be misleading.

The Ford GT is more interesting though

If the weight is that high, will need to see what the Mclaren Sports Series offers given it'll be similar money - heard it's coming for a NY debut. P1GTR is Geneva, 650S Track car is later 2015, so big year for Mclaren.

Front end way too busy and pretentious. Looks like a Camaro from behind. No, thanks.

Nice to see so many new Sports Cars coming on line. With so many manufacturers investing in new
Sports Models, shows the segment is still alive and well, even in the face of this age of Eco-centered politically-correct green machines increasingly supported by governmental regulations world-wide.

That's funny. Buddy of mine is absolutely in love with all past and this present NSX. My comment to him was the same as yours, the back end looks too Camaro like to me.

I don't know how much of this you want to believe, but the NSX at thermal got a 1:21.9. For reference, the ACR got a 1:21.9
