Lovely paint. Nice

TK-421 · 07-05-2010, 06:45 PM

i think it's like the F10 - looks great but a little too conservative

Conservative? Aren't the doors gullwings?

Hula-Hula · 07-08-2010, 03:55 AM

Wow, that's one impressive looking car! Love the specs too, can't wait for some tests between this, the LP-560 and 458.

gaifaun · 07-08-2010, 04:37 AM

The simple answer is that the F1 is a much bigger car. More expensive as well, at $1,000,000. Pretty sure the MP4-12C is only like $200,000 (125k-175k GBP) if that much.

They are the same length (within 80mm) and the F1 is narrower.

At least you are right about the F1 being more expensive....thats something

Silver-Bolt · 07-08-2010, 03:48 PM

Running the nitrogen lines for the remove resi shocks under the exhaust is not a good idea. Wish the rest of the automotive world could get their paint to lay down like that.

Sylon · 07-08-2010, 03:51 PM

I cant believe how low that enging sits in the middle of the frame like that. That transmission is enormous though.

Murray has his own supercar in the works, I wonder if he will go with 3 seats?

That article is a bunch of crap. You can't design a super car from the ground up in 2 years. I'm looking forward to another Murray designed supercar. The McLaren F1 will always be EPIC, especially considering the impact it had, and its been close to 20 years since its debut
