RE: Mclaren Mercedes SLR
Discussion
I too think the nose is a bit long.
The rest is OK if unispiring, and I too reckon black paint would calm the whole thing down a bit.
Yes, strictly speaking moving the engine behind the front axle line does make this car mid-engined...
...just like all current TVRs and the Honda S2K, to name but two, but none of these look like they have a prosthetic proboscis grafted on to the front of them, even though both have power units four cylinders and 2 to 2.5 litres long (if you see what I mean).
But who are we to question Godan Murray?(sic)
Mouse.

sorry to disagree, but i love it, i love the long nose, i love the starter button on the gearstick ( yes i know it's silly, but it's damn cool) and what a combination, british design, british ingenuity, german quality
oh and those wheels, ok i don't know, but jusy a guess, they look like fan like, so when they spin they'll suck the air out over the discs, cooling the discs and increasing downforce, i don't know, it's just a guess, but it sounds very mclaren

Are you all completely mad ? The SLR's side view is incredible - look at those exhausts ! This is one of those cars that will look 10 times better in the flesh! Lets face it the (new) Lambos all look the same, the Ferraris all look 10 years old (other than the Enzo), After the BMW ZM coupe this must be the best designed modern GT of its time !
who would buy a car designed by a man with a moustache and 70s dress sense ! I saw him driving through my village on the way back from Goodwood at the weekend. Nice McLaren. If I could have I would have pulled him over and held him down and slapped him with a wet fish after this terrible tragedy of design. He has sold out for the american and arab markets.
