Just been playing around, the result a lovely Mclaren Orange with black lightweight wheels, carbon pack and pretty much every option. Looking forward to ordering one!

I'm terribly sorry, i appear to have just jizzed in my trolleys.

There goes this afternoon...

bearing in mind the number of options available does anyone think that the rumoured £150,000 list price is going to go north very significantly?!

a few items on there are standard on other cars but then again none of them are bespoke carbonfibre tub race/road cars!

That Maclaren is going to cause the ferrari 458 problems. I bet its causing Montezemolo sleepless night right now.
Got ta say the only thing that swings it in the 458s favour for me is the horse badge, and the badge alone.

So the Ferrari badge holds more cache for you than McLaren?

Please depart England and never return!!

If i had the means to depart from the UK permanently, believe me i would
Yes joking aside i think the Maclaren is a fabolous victory for the UK, something to be proud of. So thats 3 things to be proud of

Yellow with lots of carbon bits please

[WCZ]

In yellow with the external and internal carbon fiber touches, IRIS upgrade, the lightest wheels powder coated in black, light exhaust, CC brakes and carbon fiber backed super light weight seats looks like what I'd go for.

that orange car looks strangely familiar from the front 3/4 and side angles

[macey_j2]

mine's turned out very simiar to the white on black on above! Very nice A great time wasting tool for all of us aspiring Mclaren owners!

[silverthorn2151]

My word. Doesn't that make you want one!

As I said on another thread, I wonder if McLaren will be monitoring all the hits on the configurator and then use that information when it comes to pricing the options? It would seem to be the logical thing to do.

If you have a quick scan of what people have specked so far it seems that full carbon and black light wheels seem to be very popular. Now if you were McLaren would you therefore price these options higher or lower because of their popularity? Come on you marketing guys I would welcome your expertise on this matter.

[Streetrod]

I hear what you are saying. But lets look at the carbon options, if they are priced two high they can add up to 20% on some cars like the Audi R8, therefore it is rare to find an R8 with all the carbon options which I think is missing a trick. If the options are priced correctly then people will spend more

Just been playing with this...

I reckon Mr. Bean has specced his like that too.
