I can't say enough about this... I prefer the quick shifting of the Track mode on my 675LT and the soft ride of the normal mode. So around town, I'm normal suspension and track transmission. If I want to take it up a notch on the bends.. turn the dial to sport/track. On track.. track/track. People don't realize how nice it is to adjust both separately.

First time I've ever heard that.

Static shots from their IG account.

Seems pretty gimmicky. If you wanted just the info displayed on the "focused" version of the display, you have a black panel...just turn off all the other info...

Odd.

The blue render only has one flaw- the lower intake is way smaller on the side skirt zone.

The car is much more pagani or LaFerrari than 458.


It's sculpted incredibly.

The display is awesome when you see it in person- features like this define what mclaren aims to do with traditional cars...just doing it to show people up. I think it's rad.

Is that a foldable dash?.. pretty cool, gotta be innovative to stay ahead. Love how it's shaped like a STACK display when standing up.

When you engage it they should pump in audio from Senna like “Suddenly I realized that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.”

Like 570 interior - very clean and purposeful. Sounds and looks like 720S is going to take it to the next level. No issues with dash as it reminds of Motec/Cosworth dashes from Cup cars.

cool would be if the shiftlights would be led or bulbs.
nothing beats a night drive with just dark air and this in front of your helmet pinging it each gear till red:

Woking would just have to copy a shed 40miles away - east of London:



it should also adjust seat, steering column and pedals pushing that button
thats the direction to funny stuff! i like it.

The last thing you need is another car OR another job!

Well I definitely don't need another job because I already get killed on my taxes and that would leave ZERO time for sleep and driving cars. As for more cars, just like with women I do like variety. But yes, garage space has already run out.
