What car is this?

[samrr]

Friend was following this earlier and unsure what it is.

I said, even with a ste picture like this PH will name it!

Any ideas?

I'd go with that..

[tim2100]

MX5?


Normally the answer on here.

[samrr]

Great stuff - will let him know!

[Remagel2507]

Actually looking again it might not be the MP4-12C as it seems to have to reflectors on the lower bumper where as the McLaren doesnt

I don't think it is, it looks to have a square number plate and have some sort of reflecters at the bottom.

Some sort of an NSX maybe ?

Not sure.

Quite unlikely, and it looks like there are two reflectors low down in the bumper. Looks so familiar but I can't give offer a better suggestion.

[Beartato]

Was thinking that too, plus why the square plate? Then again I believe the back has been changed a little since the early prototypes which most of the photos are of.

[anyideas]

Hasn't the MP4-12C got reflectors above the diffuser?

[samrr]

He has just looked and confirmed it was that.

[UnluckyTimmeh]

Well i'm gonna guess it's an American import, looking at the square-ish rear plate and side markers. It's looks slightly mclaren slr ish..

Although I'm googling alternatves

ETA: too late. (that was gonna be my next guess)

Look harder...

[Deranged Granny]

If you look closely, you can see the reflectors just above the diffuser - in the same place as the one in the OP.

Wow just had another look, and it that case I think the OP had a good spot there.

Never won one of these before!

I have so many people I'd like to thank...

Looks wrong for the Mclaren to me, the top of the number plate is where the exhausts should be isn't it?

It's the McLaren, just the photo looks like it was taken by Michael J Fox on a power plate.

Yeah you're probably right - just lens flare making the 'plate look too big.
