109 McLaren Piccies

I'm sure some of them must be new to Peloton in particular, and to the rest of you guys

The pictures of the Carrera GT and McLaren F1 are awesome, too bad they are such a low resolution.

These two shots of 56XPGT parked outside by itself were indeed new for me. Thanks!!





The shot you posted by itself and labeled a prototype is actually a shot of GTR #07R when AMG was using it for the development of the CLK GTR. I guess you could call it a prototype as long as you state it's an AMG prototype. It's certainly not something that McLaren put together themselves.

Ohhhh... theres my favorite Mc xp56gt!!
I simply adore that car, the coolest of them all!

Really? I think it's too long and flowy, not at all true to Gordon Murray's ideals of a compact sports car with a wheel at each corner. You do realize that it wears that body just to manage the airflow better so it could stay competitve with the other cars it was competing against, right? Nothing to do with real world usefulness or aesthetics. Why do you like it so much?

I think its profusion of wings, skirts, vents, and oversized body bits make it as ugly as McLaren 240i's posts.

Isnt it for sale for the right price i dont have many shots of this car only the one from driving ambition and one of it in the factory. Have they change the wheels or is the driving ambition car the black one? where is the? the red ones in japan. Im confused.

It would be great if you could quit with the pot shots.

As for your opinion on the look of the longtail, I certainly agree. I'd like to see a longtail road car in person to be certain, but I have a feeling it would not be to my liking. The rear is just too long and flat and out of balance with the rest of the design. It works a little better with a wing flying off the back, but it's still a bit overdone, though I realize it was for a very good reason.

So much for those low polar moments of intertia.

They have changed the wheels at some point on the green longtail road car. It now wears a thinner, more flowing 5-spoke design from Enkei I believe.

Yes, the red (burgundy) one is in Japan. It also wears the newer style wheel.

Even Murray himself has stated that this is his true vision.
He says so in "Driving ambition", that when he saw the long tail howl down the straight he though to himself "We finally did it, building the perfect racecar".
I'm also aware over that the design was an attempt to keep up with those clk-gtr's but it did not manage to do that.
The clk-gtr is actually the McLarens half brother

The fact that it looks so overdone is ecactly why I like it so much.
It's almost too much of the good stuff and it balances on the edge to insanity like a batmobile or something like that....

It's the best and rarest McLaren of them all and that also make it very special to me, especially the silverstone green xp56gt.

If I ever reach my goal to buy one of these beauties, the xp56gt would be the first one I would check out and try to buy!

5 spoke from Enkei is correct!
