It's very exciting to think that Mclaren would have a successor to the F1 but good heavens, if it looks like that picture, I don't think I can grasp where Mclaren is heading and if they do not incorporate a central driving position, then forget it. I LOVE the central position. I remember JJ Lehto talking about how the F1 GTR was as close to a true F1 track car because of its central seating position, but with a body around it. Also, I would not focus on these these top speed wars like this silly Bugatti and Ultimate Aero. Neither are anything like what the Mclaren was intended to be. Honestly, I don't believe Mclaren can top the original car, not to mention the incredible success of the 1995 Le mans race. The whole story and history of the original car hasn't even been touched or topped by any car company IMO. I don't want to sound harsh, but also with regard to the new MP4, it's so big and wide looking and reminds me of a Mazda or something. The original car is like magic. Gordon and his team did the most amazing job on the original car. Of all the cars on the planet, the LM, GTR, and F1 roadcar are simply intoxicating to look at. Tiff Needell said that the LM was the most exciting supercar in the world ever. Steve Sutcliffe from autocar said the exact same thing. He stated that not even the Veyron was anything like the F1 experience, Nothing! How can they top that? Also, I really think it's a huge mistake to make a large number of cars. If a new car is to succeed, it should be a very limited number like the original F1. Thank you for sharing Peloton.
