That looks like a bunch of BS to me.

This has to be the fourth or fifth report of a supposed successor to McLaren's F1. If it ever does come about, I don't think it will match the F1 in any of the key areas. And it certainly won't look anything like that picture--that seems to be a photoshopped Gallardo on the sides and a P8/Lotus/SLR composite on the front.

After reading "Sources have told Autocar that mechanical mules disguised under a Ferrari 360 body are already running around the company’s Woking HQ." I cal :bs: :lol:

thanks mr. bridger. yes, that has been in the news for some time now, over 3 years if i remember. good to have ron denis confirm it, and i hope they do come out with something nice. i suspect it is still some ways off, and when it finally sees the light of day, will be very expensive and underwhelming in performance and aesthetics, but i hope i am wrong.

Hi Mr B.

Was it at Salon Prive? What did Ron decide on displaying F1-wise? Was it XP1LM, #01R Ueno or #06R Harrods, or another?

:thumbsup:

We knew it would be the Harrods car at the Salon for a while now

^^ XP1LM was in some brochures about Salon Prive, #01R was in an advert for it in some Sunday Newspaper the week before and #06R was in some more promo material - It was good to get the final verification

Now, going back to the F2... I dont think that car will EVER come close to achiving what the F1 has... As far as I'm concerned Mclarens etched a place in history for the F1, one none of the Ferraris or Bugattis, or even another Mclaren for that matter, can beat.:smokin::2cents::flipa:

The Harrods car looks much better with the sponsorship back on.
