Yes, it's off topic but it's Harris so hopefully the admins will give me a little leeway. Enjoy.

 

good video. CH always has great insights that true petrolheads can relate to.

 

Chris Harris is THE automotive journalist!

 

Nice Job

 

The heat coming from the exhaust, and flame every once in awhile makes this jet fighter design look like one.

 

Always enjoy his video's!

MP: Very comfy, very capable and superfast, but feels like crap in your hands.
Not bad, like a lightweight GTR that has a comfort setting that is comfortable.

 

I would take one ...

 

great review, I enjoyed it as I always do from chris harris
For some reason that car makes me think ACURA NSX
It makes me think if acura had remade the NSX this is what it should have looked like

I wish I could give this car a drive around town, to the track an test it around the track..
Id love to Get a glimpse of all its worlds. Comfort,Sport and Track modes.

 

they actually did, should be out 2013-2014. the car was presented on their Add at the superball

 

Nice, when do they come to NA?

 

would be hard to choose between it and 458...

 

Dealership just opened in Newport Beach, CA. They have been showing their cars at the Irvine Cars and Coffee for the past couple of months.

 

Cool, I am sure I will see one running around here soon

 

chardonet thanks for posting the pics/ Really nice - saw the car yesterday at the AUTOshow in toronto and it was just amazing. Beautiful design.

 

What?! No centerlocks? Disappointing ...

Thanks for the photos. McLaren should use these (low light, low definition ...) makes the 12C look halfway appealing as a styling exercice, but still falls short with its "expensive Lotus Elise" looks.

Anyway, it's entertaining to read what The Harris has to say. I think he's being honest, wearing his heart on his sleeve and clearly his country's flag over his heart when he reviews the last hope for British motoring. Here's hoping the next 12C addresses the weaknesses of this first iteration. If McLaren plays their hand at $250K, they know they simply can't support selling too many cars at lower price points, so Porsche has freedom to deliver the next GT3 and RS at their leisure with zero competition from adjacent brands like BMW/Mercedes/Audi etc between $120-175K. What an astonishingly weak market to find zero new competition between $100K and $200K. If McLaren can dial down the exotic materials in the bill for this "early adopter, first kid on the block" status symbol car, get to a $150-175K price point, look out. Meanwhile, hats off to Acura for the next NSX. I have to admit that the 991 doesn't (yet) strike me as a GT3 platform and if I'm not driving a rear-engine, if Acura can deliver a track-oriented NSX under $200K ...
