I'm sure the performance and sound will be outstanding. The bits which I'm not sure about are the 'copper' coloured engine covers, the shape of the rear diffuser and also the extensive use of visable carbon composite instead of carbon fibre. I appreciate that it's stronger, lighter etc, etc but to me, it doesn't look very nice. Hopefully it's one of the many options available.

I'm sure this and much more will be discussed in a new topic that pops up following next weekends previews.

Lambo.s Carbon composite is a strange idea, to me it looks like stressed plastic. It might be a bit lighter but the weight saving must be minimal.
Agreed, it looks pretty naff and it feels even worse - not sure if it was lacquered it would look any better. Hopefully you can opt to have the normal 'heavy' carbon fibre in the cabin or the external bits you can see. If not, then it would be a deal breaker for me personally.

First deliveries for early HP buyers should be Spring and Summer 2017.

Both great cars, but HP edges it. Faster and prettier with a better badge.

Cheers, as early as that! Exciting. Now wondering who I have to injure to get an early one.

Or just maybe as a Performante expert he is keeping quiet about it as he got in first and didn't want to let the cat out of the bag scratchchin

I'm certainly keeping stum on my next McLaren
