It's time to come to the realization that Gordon Murray's peak was the McLaren F1.

Gordon had no input on the MP4-12C. Therefore he gets none of the blame (or kudos if you happen to like it).

Perhaps you know this, but I'm not getting that from your comment.

I can't say I could have done better, but the styling is very 'meh'. I'm sure it'll go round corners though.

Wrong, again.

True enough it appears so.
But this wasn't the original plan and wasn't what all the prototypes have had in them.

Clearly that plan has changed.

[kambites]

Doh!

As I say, they have changed plan clearly, or maybe the other engine was for development, either way, interesting.

So what was the original plan? Surely you can tell us now that they aren't using it?
