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

hi F1, i was at a dinner on wednesday evening that Ron Dennis attended, the F2 is not a successor as such to the F1 its a "more affordable sports car that we have decided to produce after listening to the market & our customers"....& before you ask, when i asked what it would consist of i was told "wait & see", thanks, Mr B.

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?

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.

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