Not sure if this'll link or not...

Oh dear, that hasn't worked has it.

Looks like a modified kit car to me. Was hoping for so much more.

[speedtwelve]

Always liked the looks of the MP4 coupe, but this looks even better roof-down. Want.

Not really jealous.

















You bloody git!

That really is stunning .

Doors?

Are they still gullwing, beetlewing, scissor sweeping arching efforts or are they now conventional??

It does beg the question... why would you ever want the non-spider version??? Same thing goes for the 458.

Looks great.

[rev-erend]

Wow - now looks much better.

Less is more

Given that the 458 has an aluminium chassis, there is a good reason that you would want a coupe over a spyder... this does not apply to the 12C of course as is has a carbon chassis.

The doors only mount on the body, not anywhere else so i'd imagine they're the same - see this image I took last week:

Much more desirable than the coupe to me, great job my McLaren.

how come? more flex in the 458?

[s]Vital info tbh.[/s]

Far too late, should've refreshed! Looks good up as well.

I really like the hard top.

But I'm afraid the spider is ugly as sin.

Yes. I'd guess there is alot more flex in the 458 spyder than there is in the 458 coupe. I dont see the same thing applying to the 12C.

[ZesPak]

Fixes the main gripe I had with the Coupé: that it looked too bland to compete with the ferrari.

This thing looks stunning, like a proper supercar should. Great choice of colour as well.

[OlberJ]

Looks like a Veranti.

[anonymous-user]

Gallardo Performante looks a lot better!

[The Danimal]

Is that "Whatshisface?" from the BTCC driving it in the pics?
