Apologies if this is a repost.

Looks good. Dark red on black for me.

Will this be a detuned version of the engine from the 650S engine?

The overall silhouette is still very similar to the 12C - not the ground breaking design I was expecting. There are some nice touches, but overall, if this thing is £160k with options as a coupe, then the Spyder will be £180k. Is there enough room in this crowded market for yet another sub £200k mid engined car? And at these prices, 570bhp doesn't seem enough.

Speedy kiwi motif on the sides?

If I'm honest I'm a little disappointed with that if its realistic.

Not sure about the flying buttresses and concave window. Whole rear quarter and rear end is not gelling for me. Looks too fussy with fancy tailpipes, P1 style rear lights and no glass engine cover.

I guess at the end of the day its got to be price pointed and therefore built to a budget but its still a darn site better looking than any Porsche 911

What I really find exciting about Mclaren is how with every car they launch you really get the feeling that have made a massive effort to change the design in a radical way to make sure that every car is distinctive

@harrismonkey posting some good snaps from launch, up on Twitter ; one example

Do you remember what everyone was saying about BMW in the 90's and are beginning to say about Audi's - they all look the same?

Not a huge fan - although I'll reserve my judgment until I see it in the flesh......

In terms of size, is this actually smaller than the 650?
will be interesting to see this next to the 650 to compare them side by side

According to Autocar its actually bigger than the 650 in all dimensions.

Same engine, same tub. Not exactly a Black Swan Moment for sports cars.

Can't understand McLaren at the moment, they're flogging the same basic car at multiple price points.

No, according to Autocar it is a bit bigger in each dimension.

Oops, Kith beat me to it.

It is a grey duck moment.

Lots of lovley touches, added together to miss the mark, somehow....leaves me cold. If I ever know someone that wins the lottery and offers me enough cash to buy one.... I won't.

Personally I think the rear makes the 650S look a bit dated now.

Looks good in silver

It's a much more cohesive design than the 650S in my eyes.

Agree it looks good in the silver grey. I'd love to see a black one (and a read one for that matter) as I feel the shape may suit less garish colours

Not bad but I don't like the front, it looks to have a big grin on it's face just like the NSX!!

[layo]

really disappointed with the interior compared with the 650S, the 570S inside looks like a TVR on a bad day!

Why???? I don't understand this car in the slightest. There seems to be no dimensional or visual difference to note between their cars!!! Same tub, same engine, same styling... I'm a car geek and I would struggle to tell them apart if one drove past me on the street.

[subirg]

So what's the point of the 650s now?

[tuffer]

I have so wanted to like/want/lust after a McLaren since they launched the MP4 but they are just not doing it for me. If this car was £120K then I could be tempted but at £150K I would rather take a 991 Turbo S. Like others have said, interior is trying to be funky and cutting edge but just come across a bit late model TVR. That rear window is terrible, overall 6/10 for me.

Looks like someone has chopped the front off!
