Quite nice. I think best looking so far but didnt we expect that?

Looks like they've moved the steering arms!

Alot more interesting features than the TF. Airbox is quite interesting, and sidepod inlets look like the ones they used at Silverstone ( though on the right side i think... ? ). But yeah trust Mclaren to build a pretty car.

Only ugly thing is that steering wheel!

Surely the big button's should be at the bottom not the top ;)

I like the button at the bottom left, which looks like it was drawn in Tippex by a granny having a fit 5 minutes before the unveiling.

I don't like look of new cars (rules fault), but it would be much better with bigger rear wheels atleast (than that would be something that we could talk about retro effect).

The nose of the McLaren is ugly imo, but the sidepod is cool!

I like the F60 and MP4-24 both, but as I'm a Ferrari fan I prefer the Ferrari red more than the McLaren chrome...

Has anyone else noticed the new Arai GP6 in those mclaren pics...... Hated them when I first saw one but not too bad when painted.... still look a bit funky though.

Can't say that I paid particular attention to it no, and can't see anything particularly wrong with it either.

the only thing that bugs me about the toyota splashes every year, that their angles are not consistent. It would be so much cooler, if the direction from where the splashes hit the car is the same and if they wouldn't change direction right in the middle of the car.

Wow, the shark fin makes it look fast :P

Take a look at this, a sneak preview of the new Renault, now featuring the colour red. A rainbow-car?!



Yes, a shark fin... with some colour on this year.

Sharkfins are allowed under the new regulations?
