"750 experts work together to produce McLaren's first supercar"

Umm, pretty sure it's not...

Great pics though!

Only 19?

Git!

I've been taking photo's for hundreds of years (at least it feels like it) & mine never come out anywhere near as good as that.

I, like some others, assumed that Mr W was older that he actually is. If his photos are this good at 19 what are they going to be like when he has some experience???

Fantastic set of photos. Just a shame that the Daily Fail article is so bad!

I couldn't give a toss that it is in the Daily Mail (some here really need to get over themselves ).

The MP4-12C is the ONLY supercar in production today that I lust over.
.......stunning car, stunning pics.

Thank you for sharing the link.

It's correct, pedantically in the grand scale of things the F1 was a hypercar and the M6 was made by Trojan and the McMerc SLR is a GT.

I don't think the 'Hypercar' tag even existed when the McLaren appeared. It was a Supercar in the same essence as the XJ220 was a Supercar.

And even if it did, it wouldn't be one. The McLaren is a usable Supercar, not a huge overbearing monster.

WTF??? picture has no relation to the 'monsoon testing'... you could work for the DM with that type of context stretching

[Cyder]

I think that's his point...

Yes, I thought the 'Hyper Car' tag came about so they could start calling the mass produced and mundane stuff 'Supercars'.
