The roofline alone tells me that this thing is going to be gorgeous.

I just want this car to be as good as the F1 to satisfy the outrageous purist driver spirit in u

It won't have Mercedes Benz interfering with it and that's all the purity I need Tarek.

LOL - Just kidding, honest - I had to pull that one when you opened the door...

I think McLaren will wisely stick to the old formula of the F1 roadcar. But with new aerodynamics, lights, better brakes, steering, tyres, gearbox, and comfort.

Very good for purists

So will this car use MB engine?

It better have some astonishing performance instead of merely joining the bandwagon of Gallardo-eaters.

Gordon Murray on the forthcoming Mclaren P11

Quote:

McLaren’s new P11 supercar ‘bound to disappoint’

Murray also dismissed the new McLaren P11 supercar as not that revolutionary. ‘It’s bound to disappoint,’ said the F1’s designer. ‘There’s no point in trying to outdo the F1, they’ll never do it. The world has moved on and anyone who thinks the market for Gallardo-type cars is going to bounce back to levels of two or three years ago is dreaming.’

While insisting he’s had no special access to the P11 project, he still has strong opinions on the new McLaren that will finally be shown in the next few days. ‘From what I’ve heard, McLaren has gone back to producing a big car with a heavy engine. People will inevitably see it as a successor to the F1 but I can’t see any way in which people aren’t going to be disappointed. They’ve just taken the wrong route for it. That’s a shame.’

Sounds like he's venting because the latest car he developed is a shit box.
