Just because you can doesn't mean you should. It would still look good with an old style racing screen like the DBR1 for instance.

This really ... the DBR1 was a beautiful (and race winning) car and solved the problem this and the similar Ferrari's have over 60 years ago ... it had a windscreen!

Can’t wait to see these on SHMEE or DDE’s YouTube channel as as they tour yet another private hypercar collection.

I'm sure Manny Koshbin will end up with one. He seems to be happy to order any and all high-end Mclaren products (Not jealous at all, no sir-ee)

Just a thought but if Mclaren had ‘just’ stuck a windscreen on it, no matter how small, it wouldn’t have allowed Mclaren to showcase how clever they are at solving problems that don’t exist and also charge such stratospheric prices for the privilege
But as another poster opined, it won’t matter as surely most will sit in air conditioned garages, hopping between investors rather than drivers...

Again so much hate for what will I’m sure be a great car. Ferrari didn’t even bother with anything like this for the SP1/2 - no windscreen nothing - yet the launch comments for that had no bad bashing. I’m fine with pointing out the concern but I’m wondering what’s different?

I'm sure you'll find out, if you get a chance to look at one closely, that both models have a neater air ducting solution for the driver and that the SP2 has also a small Perspex screen for the passenger...

Reading the 'work for McLaren' thread, I'd wager this was supposed to have a windscreen but the windscreen team walked out before it was finished.
