McLaren F1s with the MP4-12C
McLaren unveiled the new MP4-12C today and included in some of the press photos were these two gems.





Hopefully we can find these at a higher resolution in the coming days.

If you'd like to discuss their new car, please do so in the other subforum. I started a thread with the full press release here.

Re: McLaren F1s with the MP4-12C
Well that didn't take too long for the second one:

The same source didn't offer the #075 pic any larger and of course that is the one I'd really like to have.

Re: McLaren F1s with the MP4-12C
Hmmm some reason, it does not give me anything special feelings....
There is always just that one and only McLaren; F1, to me.

Re: McLaren F1s with the MP4-12C
I really like it. I didn't like it in the original shots that came out a while back but i really like what they've done with it. I would have liked in in manual but i guess putting an F1 tranny in was a no brainer.

Of course it'll never replace the F1 to me (it probably won't even make my top 10 list) but it could have turned out a lot worse

Re: McLaren F1s with the MP4-12C
Nice to see they got the last chassis#'d F1 to meet the first MP4-12C [they could've come up with a shorter, more punchy name though?]

I know the name is Formula 1 derived but i think they could have come up with something easier. My guess is that people will start refering to it as either the MP4 or the 12C

Faint glimpse of XP1 LM on the turntable in the background here.



Watch Jay Leno's video for a closer view of the LM.

Re: McLaren F1s with the MP4-12C
It could have just been an arranged photoshoot. I've seen no proof that the car is permanently there
