Good news is they may have got some design input from Wataru Kato from Liberty Walk. Bad news is that he was high at the time. It looks like a car "within" a car.

McLaren is terrible with choosing the colors for their launch press vehicles. Just like the awful color combo they did for the Senna when they introduced it. The should've picked this color setup IMO.

I agree but no color combo is helping that....

You're comparing when Frank Stephenson was the designer of McLaren with beautiful cars like 675LT and P1, and Robert Melville today. Unfortunately 180 degree change.

Saw my 675LT for first time in 4 months as I keep it off site as i live in a condo.

It brought me the same butterflies as when I first saw it 2+ years ago.

What a beautiful car.

And more importantly what an incredibly capable track car that has my personal best track lap record across other higher HP cars.

I'm so lucky to own such a beautiful and bad *** weapon

In my opinion the 675 is one of the most beautiful sports cars of the last quarter century. I’m biased though
