The orange device on the current logo is meant to be an evolution of the Kiwi bird from the original. It's pretty much evolved into something which looks completely different, granted, but that is where the orange thing comes from.
Er. Someone's been feeding you a big bowl of marketing soup. That's complete and utter b*%£*&ks and you well know it.I totally agre with your description of the looks, and when looking at an Evo video on YT where it was parked next to a 458 found the looks debate groundless...it looks amazing. Interesting too that the MP4 links back to the old GP cars (I learnt this reading the piece on Senna's airfix kit F1)) ok I should have known that...and then some choose to say the name doesn't work....Senna, F1, what a strange media world we live in.

Note my use of the word "meant"However that is, I can assure you, what the good folks at McLaren believe to be the function of that Orange swoopey thing on the logo. The colour is intentional too - it borrows the colour of shield from the original logo.

Aye... but £500k's a bit tasty for a 12C isn't it? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-20277...

By the way they really do throw up some stones/debris on the motorway the front of my car now needs painting!! Thanks to whoever it was from the pistonheads crew driving it!!
