What Did I See?

[Doofus]

My turn for one of these!

M69, heading North at 8:00 ish this morning.

Two supercars in the left lane, doing 60-odd. OIne white, one black (registered RX60 something-or-other)

Very pronounced rear diffusers, in grey, and I think the exhaust exits were in the rear panel rather than below it. Large cooling ducts built into the doors, like a Noble M600 but more so.

I know they were '60' registered, but they also looked 'brand new' as in a very modern design, rather than a two or three year old shape.

Not often I'm stumped, but now I am. Not given you much to go on, have I?

And yes, it was near Hinckley, and no, they weren't Ultimas.

Sounds like the new mclaren mp4 12c?

Do they have pop-up rear wings?

If so, I think you've won a banana!

[hornetrider]

Definitely McLarens

[Jonny671]

They are the MP4-12c(s).. They're registered RX and are grey

I'm not sure it does sound like the Mac to be honest, it does not have anything like what I would describe as a very new looking design, even less so when you see it in the metal.

Edit - apparently the number plate is a definite give away!

Posted twice as the OP saw two of them.

They looked really nice.

But a bit slow

Yep, that's them. Thanks!

And I don't think anyone can say that, from that angle at least, they look anything other than 'modern'. Dripping in fashionable plastic bits.
