RE: McLaren 720S Spider unveiled

[justin220]

That looks outstanding!

[SidewaysSi]

Didn't they launch this 3 years ago?

[Ursicles]

The car looks pretty good, but what's working for me is that colour.

The contrast with the black interior, alloy's and roof is stunning.

So often companies launch a car and the launch colour is horrific - this is spot on.

[Streetrod]

Damn!! I normally don't like the spider verson's of sports car but this I have to say I would take over the coupe, Time to go waste an hour on the configurator

w.a.n.t.

Yep, you all got so used to ugly supercars that you all have forgotten what aesthetics is about.

Nah, you’re just stuck in the 90’s.
You DON’T know what good design is.
You own a Ferrari 550 apparently. The most bland and generic Ferrari design of the last 30 years. Looks like a stretched Toyota Supra. FACT.
Actually, everything you think is attractive is in fact hideous (if it differs from my opinion).

...annoying isn’t it.

No need to be ironic sir - I genuinely happen to find the 550 to be an ugly car; it always looked disproportionately fat and ungainly to me (it's the automotive equivalent of a lady with a 'muffin top' spilling out over her jeans) and I don't care what anyone thinks to the contrary. Now that you've mentioned it, the 'stretched Toyota Supra' comparison really is spot on, I never really thought about it until now!

Sadly, it doesn't.

Does look really good though as a Spider.

Many thanks McLaren, outstanding job of saving me the bother to check if it's the start of another week.
Wake me up when the "track focused" version is released so I can scratch of another 7 days........
Wonder what the "ring" time is...................

Posts like yours are bizarre. Firstly, they're every bit as boring as they sound. Secondly, if you don't like what you see, why bother to click on the article? Thirdly....it's such a shame, isn't it, that McLaren are STILL churning out cars; I mean, wouldn't it be so much better if they just stopped

[T1berious]

That looks simply stunning! The vid will be getting another screening at home but the start up didn't seem to lack drama.

Now, how can I convince SWMBO that selling a 2nd home for a car is sound idea? hmmm I think even the most optimistic man maths wouldn't make that stick..

Sigh...

Pic of the week sorted early

Appropriate user name.

don't usually like the look of convertibles, but this looks quite attractive relatively speaking (I would still buy a coupe as prefer the security of a proper roof)

[Gameface]

Would look better if the roof and engine cover were body coloured.

[Noodle1982]

It looks st and dated already.

I was just about to say convertibles have never been my thing and if I ever had the chance/lottery win one would be in the my garage...

Now you’ve told me it is in fact st and dated I’m going to have a word with myself and a lie down... contemplate how could ever have thought such a thing

Unfortunately not.

McLaren equals Dyson in the sound department.

Beauty most definitely is in the eye of the beholder. Just looks like a car that has taken styling cues from an electric shaver to me.

This must be when people are getting used to ugly supercars. THIS IS JUST NOT BEAUTIFUL! Really, what is with all those reactions 'WANT' and 'LOTTERY...' and 'SANTA...'??

The sound of a pair of idiots mating

I'm pretty sure you could spec yours that way if you so wish. I quite like it as it is Isn't the availability of a choice a great thing

[epom]

Perfect one car garage. I'll have a grey one please.
