....I actually thought it looked a tiny bit bland! It was parked on my street (first time I've ever seen one in the flesh), at first I thought it was one of the new lotus models (evora, etc). It had a great plate "4 TOY" and I'm sure it goes like the clappers but wouldn't hold a candle to a 458 or aventador IMO in the looks department

Personally i'd have one over an aventador/458 all day smile

I saw one of these on the a57 near worksop a few weeks ago. I had windows down, stereo muted waiting for it to blast by me. Then some ttbag in his dull passat estate pulled into lane 2 to stop him. I hate that man biggrin

Weird, I'm pretty sure I saw 4 TOY on another MP4 in orange, turned off the M6 toward Knutsford a few weeks ago. Maybe a plate owned by McLaren?

yeh thats strange, could be a plate they own, I'm sure the plate is worth a good 100k itself! I did an online reg check and it does show as a black mclaren

I really think its about time they do a more hardcore 12C to complete the range. 12C, Spider, 12C GT.

Will share the sentiment about it looking very bland. First saw one parked on a ransom street, left me completely cold.

Saw a 458 on the other hand cloud9

Cannot comment on the lambo, but suspect I'd be nursing a semi.

Yeah, but this is a criticism that has been levelled at it from day one.
