I was put off by the looks of the MP4 late last year and bought an Aston Vantage S.
Bizarrely thats got my interest again
I know I shouldn't though
My point exactly and this is something that I have heard repeated quite a few times. Barring a few exceptions, people in the market for a supercar aren't really looking for subtle as they probably already have other cars for that. I certainly know that if I was looking to spend £200k plus on a supercar, it would need to excite me a damn site more, even before I got in it than the Macca can muster at the moment.

is it fair to say that these King John and Shakespeare chaps prefer the standard car then? ..... i think they need to get in touch with the 'plain english society' To guard a title that was rich before,

Plain-enough English for you?
More Shakespeare on PH, please!
Really surprised at the positive reception this car is getting on PH, considering the (completely warranted) hatred Mansory usually generate.
I agree it's nowhere near as hideous as I was expecting. Perfect for all the people who complained that the standard car is too bland.
Think I'd still have a 458, instead. Then again, if I could afford either, I'd probably get one of each...

Basically, its toilet... To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,

I think its about time Mclaren did some major fiddling with this car..
Get the bd up to 1000 bhp, put a 400k price tag on it and make the Veyron look like what it is.. an overpriced, over engineered rich mans willy on wheels.
its got the potential!
There's no such thing as over engineered.Get the bd up to 1000 bhp, put a 400k price tag on it and make the Veyron look like what it is.. an overpriced, over engineered rich mans willy on wheels.
its got the potential!
They've nearly made the Mclaren interesting!
