RE: McLaren's shocking one-off X1
Discussion
Oh my........ well, it's not really a looker is it?? Not one of those 'bite the back of your hand as you look back at it' cars.... If I had seen this on Barryboys I would of been less shocked.. I'd of thought someone had been sniffing glue whilst adding fibreglass to a Ford Cougar or similar....
BUT... be interesting to see what comes next out of their design studios... could be (as commented on) a bit of future MC design coming out....
Fair play to whoever bought it/commissioned it, you sir have not only very deep pockets, but enormous gonads for it!!!

Well it is....different. And I suppose you'd be able to drive it knowing that you'll never see another one on the road.
However, if I were in a position to have MSO sort out a car for me, I'd just get them to stick some numberplates on the GT3 car, and possibly some Browning .50cal machine guns.

WTF, just WTF.
Don't get me wrong if it was something made by Chip Foose et al out of a Chevy V8 etc I would admire it, but to make something like that out of a focused supercar in my opinion is just wrong.
It just seems that the industry is getting carried away and whoring out its skills to the highest bidder.
Well aslong as the customer is happy with his one of, then who am I to say.

I don't like the front much, but the rest is pretty good. I find the interior a bit conservative for the rest of the car.
It's really refreshing to see Mclaren doing something different (albeit not risky because somebody commissioned it), and also not being worried about what convention says.
It won't affect their customer base (because if you liked the MP4-12C before, you'll still like it now), and it may even increase it, by showing what they're are capable of (assuming anyone ever doubted their capabilities).

Fantastic - that this is something which can be done, which someone wanted done and has been seen through to completion. If I had the money it is not what my ultimate supercar would look like, but when I am in the position to have one made it is nice to know it can be done.
I do love the rear lights when seen directly from the rear, but that is the best feature in my opinion.

I saw it a bit earlier in an Email from CAR Magazine, I'm not sure I get it.
1. I don't see any motor sport connection, but then again Ferrari were supposedly a racing team that made road cars as a second string to support the racing effort and some one off Ferrari's, like Clapton's Berlinetta Boxer homage, have been a bit weird.
2. It just screams Batmobile.
