Well it looks like a mix of cars. The front bumper - LP640, Headlamps - Carrera GT and the back is just nonsense. It doesn't have the mclaren's soul as the previous supercar

Re: New McLaren P11 supercar - 08-27-2008, 07:42 PM

Although the mechanical components for McLaren’s upcoming P11 supercar are set, a recent shift in design management will delay the car’s launch by at least a year, a new report finds. Frank Stephenson is slated to take over at design chief at McLaren, but a mandatory ‘gardening leave’ from his old position at Fiat requires him to stay off the job for a few months. That leave combined with the added time to redesign the entire car means the project will likely be delayed by at least 12 months.

The P11 was originally slated to make its debut in 2009, but its first auto show appearance will now be sometime in 2010. The P11’s production date has also been moved back, with a target now set for 2010 or early 2011.

Word has it that the P11 is taking aim at the Ferrari F430 Scuderia and the Porsche GT2 and will use a Mercedes AMG-sourced 6.2-liter V8 making 550 horsepower. Although the engine will be sourced from AMG, it is believed that Mahle — the company that took over Cosworth — will build the engine. That power will be sent to the rear-wheels and the car should be capable of sub-4 second 0 to 60 runs, as well as a top speed over 200 mph.

Size wise, the P11 should slot between the Audi TT and R8.

Following the launch of the P11, McLaren is expected to offer a Spider version of the P11, which has likely been delayed until early or mid-2012

Also on the calendar for the 2012 or possibly even 2013 is an even more high-performance version of the P11 — dubbed the P12. The P12 — which will probably wear the GTR nameplate in production — will channel the spirit of the original McLaren F1 and, as such, will be powered by a V10 making in excess of 600 horsepower. To further push its performance to the limits, the P12’s P11-based platform will be completely re-engineered to reduce as much weight as possible.

McLaren recently broke ties with Mercedes after co-creating the SLR supercar, which should clear some room in the McLaren factory just in time to start production of the P11.

Looks like the same mish-mash of all the other small-time British manufacturers.

New McLaren P11 supercar: the spy photos

CAR today publishes undisguised photographs of the 200mph McLaren P11 – Woking’s new junior supercar that will resurrect the spirit of the fabled F1 but in a new, smaller, cheaper package to tackle the likes of the Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo.

We’ve obtained three world-exclusive photographs of an early clay model of the new 2010 McLaren sports car, which reveal the Macca’s styling direction for the first time.
